Hi, I was scheduled for lap band surgery in May, however my cardiologist wil not let me stop taking Plavix right now. My surgeon will not operate on a person who is on Plavix. Has anyone had lap band surgery while on Plavix? I though the incisions were very small and there was not alot of bleeding with this surgery. Should I find a surgeon who uses the single incision method? I basically want to find out if it is possible to be on Plavix and still get my lap band. Any info is appreciated.
