Blood thinner shots after?



Recommended Posts

I was told that I'll have to give myself blood thinner shots for a kit two weeks after surgery. Does anyone k kW why I have to do shots instead of pills? I was told I'm allowed to take my usual meds (add and anxiety) after, why can't I take my xarelto or any other blood goner pills? ? I'm freaking out about giving myself shots

I don't know why some people get shots and others pills. It may have to do with what your insurance allows and/or it could be your surgeon's preference. I had pills. But, I know that the shots are very common.

It is not that bad. Just think of it as an insurance policy against blood clots. PE Clots are no fun. It can also be helpful if you get a close family member to help give you the shots. You will not feel alone! God Luck and God Bless! This will help you get better fast!'

My surgeon was not comfortable prescribing Xarelto for this surgery. He prefers using the shots, so it looks like it is shots for me....and for a full month! I have had to give myself shots in the past and the actual act of giving myself the shot wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. What I didn't like was developing hematomas as a result of the shot. He said there is far less medicine in these shots than what I needed them for before, so he doesn't expect that to be an issue, thank goodness.

I don't know I went to pre op today and was told abt the blood thinner pills. And those were called in to my pharmacy. Why don't u ask for the pills, I wouldn't want to inject myself either, but if u have to, u have to. But the question is why would u have to?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
