giving yourself injections to prevent blood clots after surgery

4LgrLife_53,

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for the tip on how to do the injection!

I had to give my husband Lovonox injections after he had been hospitalized for blood clots that went to his lungs. He's on Warfarin now.

HOPEFULLY, he'll have VSG next year and we can begin living our lives again when he loses a significant amount of weight.

Thank you again for the information. It will help me when I have to give him the shots.

Blessings,

Kathleen

my husband or my daughter gives me my injections. I could have done them myself, but they wanted to help. I still have 6 more days of injections to go.

Is this standard??? I can't give myself injections. I cry when I have to use my epi pen.

I didn't have to give myself shots I got them while I was in the hosp. I was in for 2 days and I think I got 2 shots a day. It really depends on your doctor.

I didn't have to do blood thinners (except while in the hospital) and my doctor said only the patients with a history or a need which will be established in the hospital will take them. It is rare. If you do please monitor your Bms carefully. A black stool is a sign of internal bleeding. It is serious, don't blow it of as, it maybe because I am eating so little.
