Between a rock and a hard place-Asprin

Hi, Need some feedback from anyone that had heart surgery and were taking asprin.
My cardio Dr says that because I had a valve repaired I need to be on asprin every day. My Lapband Dr says he won't do the surgery if I can't get off asprin.
I have called my Cardio dr and told the nurse the problem and she says he will get back to me.
Has anyone been on asprin from heart surgery and been turned down for lapband or were you able to get cardio dr to say OK. I think that the benefits from weight loss would outweigh the risks without asprin. I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 18th with Dr Ponce in Chattanooga.
