Blood Clots---Prevention?

I am scheduled for surgery in Charlotte, NC on 12-11-02. My biggest concern (risk-wise!) is development of blood clots such as pulmonary embolisms. What questions should I ask my surgeon at my pre-op visit? What prevention methods are available that I should ask for? THANK YOU for any information you can provide. This website is the greatest!
