Blood thinners!

Missbeauty16 · November 26, 2016

I had surgery the 22nd of November, and while I was there for 3 days they gave me levonox shots, however I was very disappointed becuz doctors did not prescribe me any levonox for when I'm home. Does anyone else have a problem with going home without levonox? I'm pretty scared of blood clots any suggestions, other than that I have been walking but what if I'm sleeping!!!

I was given a similar product here in the UK when I was sent home, was taken off it due to bleeding internally not caused by the operation but by another medication that I was on. Using just compression socks and have no issues.

Some people have the shots others don't. I think it all has to do with your risk of clotting and your surgeon.

I had my surgery the 23rd, one as told my BMI was high and I needed the shots at home. So prob based on your weight but I am glad you posted that so I remember to give myself the shot. How do u feel though? I can't shake the vomiting feeling.

I spent 2 days in hospital on Lovenox. Sent home without, not a single problem! Some people just aren't as much of a risk.

Hi mama Lisa,

Yea well I'm a revision from band to bypass so I would figure mine is a higher risk. Surgery weight was at 332lbs. I pray and hope I don't have issues along the way. And this nausea is killing me. I get headaches ever now and then but dizziness and nausea is killing me bad!!!
