MAY 11th Surgery in Chicago

Any other May 11th surgery patients out there to follow along with?

I am already thinkg of what to have ready at home and what to bring to the hospital.
I start my LSD  diet Monday April 26th 2 weeks before.

I go off my Coumadin a week before and start Lovenox shots twice a day before surgery.
I have to arrivce early enough the morning of to have another blood draw to make sure my blood is ready for surgery.

So looking forward to the day.

I'm sure I'll get nervous like anyone else the day before just because it's another surgery.

I was reading over your post.....We have to be on a restrictive diet for 9 days prior to surgery.  I am curious what Lovenox shots are for?

Lovenox shots are replacement coumadin but doesn't casue so much damage in the blood and can be stopped and out of the system within 24 hours.
The level of coumadin I was on I would of bleed to death on the table.

This is routine for peopl on coumadin.
