waterlily22 15 Posted November 16, 2014 Hi December surgery friends! I also got my surgery date and it is December 15th. I am excited, but also a little scared. I have never had any type of surgery before, and I have a blood clotting disorder so there are precautions that must be taken. I am very glad I found this group.

Asher325 15 Posted November 16, 2014 @@waterlily22 Congratulations on your surgery date!! How exciting!! Mine is the 23rd. I have never had any type of surgery either. I have also had 2 blood clots in the past year. I don't have a disorder, I'm in that 50% where they don't know why my blood clots. Anyways, I'm on xarelto. My last blood clot was October 7th. So, I've been concerned too with everything. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of precautions are they going to have to take for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterlily22 15 Posted November 17, 2014 Hi Asher325, thank you. Congrats on your surgery date also! I have had more than 10 blood clots but thankfully have not had one for 11 years. I had a Greenfield filter put in about 16 years ago. My hematologist is having me bank my blood because I also have an unusual blood type. They will give me Heparin in the hospital and I will go home on Coumadin. I was taken off Coumadin about 10 years ago because I had a CMV and a bleeding problem. I have Factors V, VIII & IX. My surgeon said I may be in the hospital longer than most people to make sure that I am not having any clotting or bleeding problems. How many clots have you had? Hopefully you won't have any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
