Asked By:chanteeh in Houston, TX

I am a 42 year old female who recently lost 100+ pounds through diet and exercise. I I have a history of high blood pressure and diabetes but both have been resolved through weight loss. My fear is that I currently have a-fib as well as sleep apnea. I know that I have to have cardiac clearance but I would like to know is it safe for a AFib patient to have a tummy tuck and what are the risk of developing a blood clot if I do not have a history of blood clots. Over health is currently good.
