Has anyone had to have the Lovanox shot? and does it hurt? UGH> I am told it hurts like heck to to get that shot in your belly. Anybody have experience with it?

I had to take it for 8 days. Only hurt once. I HATE NEEDLES. So that's saying something. When you wipe with the alcohol make sure its dry before you stick. Also let it stay in for a bit to make sure it in, because if you pull it out before all the Med is in it will sting. Good luck.

Lovenox can burn or sting. It is a very small needle and it is given in the adipose (fat) tissue around abdomen so it doesn't hurt as much. I am an RN and give these shots all the time. Some complain of a little pain but most don't. It is much better than getting a intramuscular shot anyday..

I was getting heparin shots! I told them to STAY AWAY FROM MY STOMACH, and put it in my arm instead hahaha

[Catgyrl68 66]

I got my Heparin shots in the arm, too. Three so far, with one more to go!

[mrspitts11367 17]

I was told I have to do 14 days of lovenox in the belly when I get home. Yaayy me. I will do it to keep from getting blood clots. but I am don't have to be happy about it. LOL. anyway. I am so looking forward to so many things when I lose weight that these are just small hurdles.

[KCItalianGirl 24]

The shots aren't bad. I had to do 7 of them post surgery. Small needle. Barely felt it. You can do it!

[WheatThin 24]

I think I would much rather take shots than to continue this liquid diet. Bahahaha! Honestly, it hasn't been quite as bad as I anticipated, so I am praying that I can make it through the next nine days.

I'm 5 days out from revision band to bypass surgery. My back and shoulders are still in way more pain than my stomach. I wasn't hungry till I got home, and now everything I see I want to eat. Still in clear liquid hell for one more week. please tell me the hunger and back pain will get better!

[tyjuslysmom 3]

Had surgery on 1/14. On the soft food phase. Surprised how good I feel. Gas is still an issue. After the surgery my back hurt worse than anything. Luckily they warned me about that and that I would come home weighing more than when I went in....I came home 12 pounds heavier! I'm down 7 pounds of that. Haven't been hungry and having a hard time getting enough Protein and fluids in. Looking forward to getting onto food I can chew!

Promise you, it will get better. Towards end of 2 weeks, I wanted something that resembled real food. My tummy wasn't happy w just liquids anymore. I was so hungry.
