shunt to prevent blood clots

No one told me NOT to get my Depo birth control shot and I got one two weeks ago. My surgery is scheduled for June 22nd and I am being told that I need to have a Vascular Surgeon place a shunt to prevent a blood clot to my lungs. The shunt stays in for 30 days. Then I need to come in as an outpatient and have it removed. I want to know if anyone else had to have this process done. If I decided NOT to have this procedure, then I have to post pone my surgery for 4 months. I have been waiting 3+ years to get this surgery and don't want to postpone but I am scared and need some advice Please e-mail me: [email protected]
