Complicated fills..



Recommended Posts

Well long story short, got lap bad surgery, got blood clots in leg and lungs, ICU visit, blood thinners.. Second hospital visit had to be rushed to a city hospital, all the clots still there all worsened, created more clots in my leg while on blood thinners.. Now being checked for cancer, clotting disorders, etc.. Question is... Anyone have a fill while on blood thinners? Massive amounts of blood thinner injections I give myself twice a day I'm not talking pills or nothing. My surgeon says he will not give me fill while on the thinners for obvious bleeding reasons... But if I have to be on them forever if I have a clotting disorder then I never get a fill... I don't want one now but what if I do then this was kinda pointless. I know many can lose the weight without a fill but I may want one sometime I mean that is the idea.... Just wondered if anyone has had uncomplicated fills while on blood thinner, specifically lovenox injections.

I haven't had a fill since going on blood thinners, but I was told it was no different or risky than having my weekly blood draws. If I need a fill, I can get one, regardless of the blood thinners.

I was on Lovanox for about week after getting out of the ICU for blood clots but once my INR was high enough I switched to just Coumadin.

Yea the orals didn't work for me now il be on injections until further notice. I guess if I beg him he may let me, we will cross that bridge when we get there I guess cuz I don't really need a fill yet just thinking ahead...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
