I have my date December 4th...excited! Just in time for the New Year and a great new beginning ????

@@coastalchick First, congratulations on your December surgery! And thanks so much for the information on blood clots. I don't know why I am so scared about getting one, but it is a big fear and I will listen to all of your advice. Is there anything I can do now, other than my normal cardio exercises, to prevent blood clot? Massaging my legs or using Epsom salts?

I am so excited for my surgery and can't wait to start my new life! I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life and I love reading everyone else's stories and experiences.

There's really nothing you can do to pre surgery to prevent, other than the pre surgery drugs your surgical team will give you. What ever you do, don't massage your legs post op while in the hospital, especially if you suspect a clot, it can dislodge it, which means bad news if you do. Your surgical team will have all of it under control, just follow my advice on moving as soon as possible, wearing your SCD's, and pumping your feet while in bed. Movement=bloodflow. Your gonna do great, don't worry.

I'm really excited too, I just looked at my husband tonight and said, "can you believe a year from now, I may be about 80-100lbs lighter.... seems unreal, but so happy for the opportunity to live the life I want again. Unfortunatley for me, my weight came in my mid 30's after a bad car accident, spinal injections, and loads of steroids. I can't wait to get back to my fighting weight, so to speak :-)
