    Hi! I will be having the gastric sleeve with Dr. Almanza on 9/22/16, and I was wondering if anyone knows, that has been there, what they do to prevent blood clots? I know when I have had surgeries here in the states they put these anti-embolism stockings on me to prevent blood clots. I'm just not sure if I should buy some and take with me. I will appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

    I had my surgery Dec 8th last year and a ll they did was wrap your legs with elastic bandages and keep you walking and moving your feet.

    Leg wraps, I am prone to clots, and through my Dr in the states I had 3 days of Lovenox. I was impressed that they took the extra precaution with everyone to do the leg wraps.
