Ask your doctor about Factor V(five) Leiden Mutation disease...I have been recently diagonsed with this genetic disease and will FOREVER be on coumiden. My surgeon suggests that I have a GREEN FIELD FILTER installed prior to the Gastric Bypass Surgery. Talk to your doctor. This blood test is expensive (if you do not have the insurance), but it might save your life.
