26 years old and am having abd hyst and worried about blood clots after surgery!
Hi sisters, I have posted many questions on here lately and have had grate feedback thankyou! I am worried about the possibility of developing blood clots after surgery. I am 26 and pretty healthy and to my knowledge have no family history of problems and had a c-section a little over a year ago and had no problems so I can't figure out why I am obsessing about this now! I was wondering what you ladies thought is this a normal fear or am I worring for nothing considering my age and no family history? Thankyou, Harley D( Counting down the days 5 more days to go.)

When I had my surgery, they put anti-swelling socks on me, TED ****, that went up to my thighs, and then they used pneumo boots to keep the blood flowing during surgery and for three days after. I was also given Heparin to prevent clotting, it was given IV as well as many shots in the belly. They will get you up literally hours after surgery to help prevent this, and make you walk many times before you go home. I belive they may send you home with some TED socks as well, make sure you wear them as they prevent swelling. good luck, and I hope all goes very well for you.

Two weeks post op today, Dr. told me not to cross my legs for two weeks and to walk a couple of times a day. I smoke so chances are greater, if you don't, dont worry, just follow the post op instructions and you'll be fine.

Hi,
My DR put the fear in me about blood clots and also pnuemonia. I too had those lovely stockings and machine to keep blood flowing for 1st 24hrs. wear them! I couldn't walk around for 2 days due to large blood loss and very low BP.But when released my DR told me to walk around every hour and keep feet up when sitting and don't cross them. As for the lungs,use the little device that when you inhale the ball rises, it helps clear out your lungs. Good Luck!

Keeping legs crossed for any length of time is not a good idea, at any time, even when you are past surgery. Remember to walk frequently and don't stay in one position long. Wear the socks at home if they advise you to.

Let your dr. know about your concern. That was my biggest fear also. I told my dr. and he said not to worry, he would put some type of blood thinner in my IV and after I was in my room I got about 3 shots at different times in my belly. This didn't hurt because I was still numb. I also had the leg pumps and stockings and was up walking the next morning. Talk to your dr. and see if he is going to use any blood thinners. God bless.
