Question:
Two question: Blood clots and hysterectomy
How long after surgery do we need to be worrying about blood clots? Is a hysterectomy just as risky as gastric bypass? Crazy question but one I need an answer to. Thanks — Kelly C. (posted on October 3, 2001)

Hi,I don't know the answer to the blood clot question but I had a
hysterectomy a year before my RNY and I think the risk from WLS is greater.
(Both are rather low.)
BTW, I came through both very well.
One major concern is osteoporosis. You need your ovaries and lower stomach
to assimilate calcium so just be aware that this may be an issue for as it
is for me.
