How Quick Did You Heal?

I love my B12 supplements. I use the under the tongue ones first thing in the morning, and I can definitely tell the difference if I forget.

One day I took it after dinner-bad idea-lesson learned- I was up all night, lol. Even took a trip to Walmart at 2:00am cuz I was so restless.

Has anyone heard that you have to give yourself blood thinner shots??

[MsQuel30 5]

I ment to say after surgery...

I have never heard of that, but if you have coagulation issues, I could see where that may be a possibility.

I've seen a few people on the board mention that they had to do this to prevent blood clots after surgery. I have no idea if it's standard practice for some surgeons or if they only do it if the patient has had an issue with clots in the past.

Oh ok, I didn't think about that...Thanks guys

My husband was up and running around mowing the lawn on Friday after his monday VSG - I was excited that the he was feeling so good so soon, I went in for my surgery two weeks later and it was like being hit by a mac truck, I expected to go home the next day and was in the hospital for a week - with internal bleeding, hematocrit (sp) dropped to 18 and had multiple blood transfusions and when I finally got home I had a suture split open and it was one giant bloody mess that sent me back to the hospital.

I deeply hope that no one has any form of complication but I was not expecting what I went through - which is nothing compared to what some folks have had complication wise here. They do happen.

I do have a blood cloting disorder called Factor 2. A couple years ago I developed a blood clot in my right arm. Had to give myself blood thinning shots in my stomach for 10 days. So I am going to ask about needing the lovenox shots.

I was sent home on lovenox shots for 10 days
