hockeyfan7 249 Posted August 6, 2015 I had them the 2 days I was in the hospital. I had heparin shots multiple times a day. Between the shots and the blood draws I had 22 separate bruises when I went home. They asked me in the hospital if I was safe at home. I told them I have 22 big bruises and 6 incisions on my stomach - I'm a whole lot safer at home than I am in here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laura4923 137 Posted August 7, 2015 I'm not a diabetic and my BMI is 39 and I will need the shots. Everyone is at risk for blood clots after surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted August 7, 2015 I am diabetic but only got the shots in the hospital twice I think. None to take home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
