StormWarning 194 Posted May 20, 2012 Glad to hear all went so well. I love hearing people who have been to Alvarez tell their story. I do not have a date yet as I am waiting to secure financials, but he is my doctor of choice. I will be joining SweetSusie in Houston for Dr. Alvarez's seminar and Meet his coordinator Susan, who I know is a great person from the correspondence that I have gotten from her.

Good luck to the ones upcoming Can you tell me if you had those things on your legs that pumped up and kept the blood flowing in your legs during your hospital stay? My sister is about to have her surgery on Friday and I am concerned. I just learned that he uses them in the OR but I want to know if you get to keep them on while laying in your hospital bed. I am afraid of blood clots forming while she is sleeping. You can be moving your feet around while asleep. Please let me know what your experience was and also, did they continue to give you heparin shots in your tummy to prevent clotting? I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

Tammi[/quote'] The theory is that once she's out of surgery, she should be getting up and moving around as soon as possible. The SCDs (sequential compression devices) are mainly for people who can't get up out of bed, like during surgery or bedridden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
