Blood Clots

How long after surgery are we at risk for blood clots? I know in the hospital they emphasized the risk, but I am just curious how long that risk exists.

I think that's a doctor question, but I was told that the blood clot risk is related to how long we are lying around without much movement. If you don't get up and move around the blood has a tendency to clot... But their are other reasons, so check with a doc.... Kelly

Someone in the California boards had a blood clot 6 wks out. I think that as long as you are moving around, you should be fine!
