Hi. I am very new to this forum and have learned so much from reading everyone's pre-op and post-op experiences. So I thank you all.
My surgery for a bilateral THR will be on November 20th, so I still have time to read and learn (and stress)! I haven't seen too many posts that talk about loss of blood. I know that people can give their own blood prior to any planned surgery to be used in the event that it is needed. Just wondering if this has been an issue and if you recommend giving your own blood prior?
Thanks
P.S. I never posted before, so I hope I created this properly and it is going in the right place !
Otherwise, I have read enough to learn that if I didn't, you will fix it!
