Sanders has undergone multiple foot surgeries and had two toes on his left foot amputated
Sanders told his family that he had successful surgery on Friday for a blood clot in his left thigh and another in the same leg below his knee in a video posted on Instagram on Saturday.
He said he also has a blood clot in the right leg that doctors were ‘going to get soon.’
The 55-year-old Sanders explained in the video on YouTube pre-surgery that his doctor found a blood clot in both legs, including one in his left thigh.

Prime Time struggled with the left foot since having two toes amputated in 2021 due to blood clot issues while at Jackson State.
Sanders said that two of his three remaining toes on that foot are what he referred to as ‘hammer toes,’ a condition where there’s an atypical bend in the middle joint.
He explained the procedure on Friday was to ‘try to get those clots so I can have proper blood flow to the leg so they can fix the toes. That´s what´s going on.’
Edmonds, a former Hollywood producer, reportedly met Sanders at a movie premiere party. The pair have been dating for 12 years per People.
