Does anyone have to have lovenox injections after surgery?

[L-in-NJ 136]

I am staying another night too. I want to make sure my pain is manageable on po meds. My right side hurts the most too. Doc sats its where they pull the stomach out and there are some internal stitching. The nurse told me most people stay 2 nights its rare to go home after one day. On a funny note, anyone do anything crazy on versed before the surgery? i apparently held my hands up and screamed "wooo im on a rollercoaster!!" while being wheeled to or. I also told my sister i thought i was drunk. Lol! anyone else?

My surgery was yesterday. I'm feeling very sore and I had a lot of gas pain but that is getting better as I am now getting out of bed and walking. I slept a lot yesterday. I do remember feeling drunk and asking everyone did they get a good night sleep before surgery but that's about all I can remember. Hope everyone is doing well.

. I'm taking heparin which is the same basically. It keeps us from getting blood clots.

Yes. My surgeon has everyone do them. Gave myself the first one yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I had imagined. They gave me one in the hospital and showed me how.

It's so expensive. I don't think I was ready for the pharmacist to say over 200 dollars for my prescriptions! Gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Wow I guess I am lucky! Insurance paid for most of my prescriptions. A week of Levonox was only $24

Ahhhh help!!! I'm getting more nervous than excited especially with some potential family members and co worker reactions once I start losing and begin to open up about my VSG. FIVE MORE DAYS!!! I feel confident about my decision but still thinking about all types of things. Please keep me in prayer ladies and gents and I am surely keeping everyone else in prayer as well.

Peace!!

Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys. I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson. Everyone introduce yourselves!

My surgery got moved. It's only two days later but it's still frustrating. Oh well. Can't wait for next Thursday to be here already. Gonna pack my bag tomorrow. Looking forward to this new chapter to start.

I changed you on the list for 12/12...just a week away!!!

Does anyone have to have lovenox injections after surgery?

I am having that done. I will help prevent blood clots.
