    Lovenox Injections

    I also have factor 5 and am on coumadin because I had a pulmonary embolism. I had surgery in June and ended up in ICU for a GI bleed and I believe that it has to do with the Lovenox injectiions I gave myself after surgery. I'm not telling you not to do it, but just be careful and pay close attention.
  2. Hi Mandy. I have Factor 5 too. Only issues pertained to stopping coumadin prior to surgery, I developed a GI bleed and was placed in ICU for 3 days, but it was due to an ulcer (unknown cause). I think that because I took the blook thinning injections prior to flying home that did not help with the GI bleed. Would you be having surgery here in the states or what's your plan?

    Any June Sleevers?

    That's awesome! My surgery date was June 26. Pre-surgery weight high was 258, surgery day was 248, & currently I'm at 222! It's definitely not coming off too fast, but its so encouraging to see #'s the same as mine!!! I'm going to be hitting the gym soon to see if I can't get it off just a lil quicker. Best of luck to you.
  4. Hi Beth, I don't know where you are located, but at Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, maybe even Wal-Mart, they have the sugar-free water mix in's by Hawaiian Punch in lot's of different flavors. I love them! Hope that helps!
