Post surgery heparin 8/3/15 sleever

[sbg224 318]

Finally I figured out how to post my own messages. They say I am computer handicapped lol. Having my surgery 8/3. Had my pre-op cass and met with surgeon this past Wednesday. It still does not seem real. Something I thought I would never do. I can lose the weight, but after 4-5 official diets, gained it back plus 10lbs usually this last time 20 for a total of 50 lb weight gain. Finally said that's it. Need 2 knee replacements too. Just wondering if anyone was told they have to get heparin injections while in hospital following gastric sleeve. I really enjoy reading everyone's posts, it has helped so much, pre and post op sleevers. Any other August sleevers lets keep in touch.

It depends on your surgeon. Most definitely you will be having heparin or something similar while you are in hospital, but from what I've read and researched it depends on your surgeon whether you will be needing to continue the injections while at home. My surgeon does it on a case by case bases, depending on how high risk you are. I will most likely be on injections at home, as I am on the larger side.
