Am I disqualified from panniculectomy/monsplasty with a history of PE?

SeattleDavid
I am a 50 year old male and have lost about 140 lbs due to a change of diet and activity. My weight has been stable at 220 lbs for about 6 months. Unfortunately now I have a lot of loose skin in the belly and pelvic area so I am considering surgery to correct it. About 2 years ago I had a pulmonary embolism. No cause was ever determined. There is no family history of clotting issues but I elected to stay on blood thinners as an precautionary measure. Does this automatically disqualify me?
