Ely, UK

I had a blood clot leading to a pulmonary embulusm last year. I'm still on wolferin although it has kept my blood stable would I still.be considered for this operation?. My doctor said my condition had nothing to do with my obesity but surely if I lost a large amount of weight I'd be less likely to suffer same again?
