RN here n I had rny 5/23 and we never send ppl home with lovenox. We use heparin while in the hospital only.

Thanks for that information. I appreciate it

Lovenox injections are the blood clot preventative, but the only reason I will be on them post op is bc I have had a PE ( pulmonary Embolism) last October from shoulder surgery. I have never heard anything about a gallstone preventative. I hope this helps some[emoji3] My surgery is 6/21/17, next Wednesday (RNY)

Thank you for that information. Good luck to you next week

I just wanted to give this tip if you're nervous about injections. I'm on insulin and stick every night. One of the things I've found over the years...is when I'm prodding my belly for a place to stick, the softer, squishier the spot, the better. I never feel those sticks. Your mileage may vary...but as a seasoned sticker, that's my trick.

My RNY is July 5th. My pre-op was yesterday. My surgeon prescribed a nausea patch that goes behind my ear the night before surgery. I will also get an antibiotic and blood thinner in the hospital. I will also be wearing the inflatable compression things in my legs while in the hospital for 2 days. I will also have to take Multi Vitamins with at least 18 Iron innit 2x day, and calcium citrate (not carbonate) with D3, 3000 iu Vitamin D minus what's in my other Vitamins, and sublingual Vit B12 once a week. He never mentioned the gall stone prevention drug.
