Green light from the specialist!!!

**This is my experience. I am NOT medical professional.**

Yeah!! I've been going through the process, but really needed the blessing of my hematologist. I got it!!!

I have Von Willebrands (blood doesn't clot like it should) and need to have an infusion of a drug before any surgery. I've never had surgery so I wasn't sure what his take would be.

He actually said the VSG was the better option for me because it was less invasive and the after-care for my condition is better.

He said with RNY I'd need two more infusions AFTER surgery, but with VSG I'll only need one. Yippee!!!

Moving forward and excited!!

Congratulations, I hope everything goes well for you!

Very exciting!  I have ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenia), although currently have no symptoms and platelet levels are normal.  I totally understand your excitement, as I've also been cleared by my Hematologist for surgery!  I'm not sure what they will have planned for me beyond Lovenox, and compression socks, but I can't wait!  Congrats!
