I did not develop a blood clot after surgery. I walked most of the night after surgery (high off of the painkillers. I was so excited. Asked the nurses if they wanted to play cards). Then I took 250 steps every hour I was up during my post-op week.

I developed a blood clott in my pelvic area and lungs. Started feeling really bad during my third post-op week. Coughing and breathig problems. Went to urgent care and was treated for bronchitis. I actually git better, but didnt wuite feel like I shiuld have. Went for my 4 week post off visit in Houston, described to my surgeon my symptoms and my Dr had me tested for blood clots and they were discovered so now I'm on a blood thinner and really down about it. Stayed in the hospital several days. Im breathing normal now, but recovery will take a while. Looking back I wonder if i moved around enough, so be sure you push yoursel and walk. I'll be monitored often, checking my heart which apperars to be ok and on blood thinner for a while. Trying not to let this keep me down so I can stay positive about my weight loss 32 lbs . Anyone else out there can help encourage me, I'd appreciate it.
