Hi Everyone, I was scheduled for surgery on May 3rd but after meeting with my cardiologist, it has been cancelled. I am really upset about this. I was mentally prepared for surgery and now I am confused. I have been on Plavix for one year and have two stents in my heart. For lap band surgery you have to stop Plavix for 7-10 days. My doc says that it is too dangerous for me to stop the plavix right now, so she will not give clearance. Has anyone out there gotten a lap band while using Plavix? Has anyone gotten lap band with heart disease? Any info would be appreciated.
