Doctors are so different. Menus' date=' shots and everything. Did you give the to yourself?[/quote']

Yes I'm giving them to myself. And keep in mind I never watch when I or any one in my family receives a shot. I had to watch a nurse give me this shot twice so I could give it to myself. I'm divorced, my children are grown & I live alone so I had no choice. It actually has not been as bad as I thought but I definitely don't enjoy it & look forward to when its over. I certainly don't want a blood clot though.

It stings a little a few seconds after I do it. Nothing major but still very unpleasant.

Just don't rub it as you do most shot to get medicine to go in your not spost to with these it makes it burn more my surgeon wouldn't let them be done around the belly after surgery so got them in the outer thighs I have to do these anytime I have surgery or that involves bleeding cause I'm on Coumadin have taken many times usually 5-6 before and after

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
