Yes you do. I didn't think to even ask him about blood thinners...It seems a lot of doctors are prescribing them now.

I'm also from AL! I just had my sleeve done 12/16. The surgeon I used gave me 10 days of lovenox, one prior to surgery and then for 9 days after. At my one week follow up he told me I didn't have to keep using the lovenox if I was up and moving around frequently.

I haven't had surgery just started this journey. My mom passed away in Feb of a blood clot. I'm terrified of developing a clot after surgery. I know the thing to do is Walk... Walk.... Walk. It still scares me. I heard some doctors give you blood thinner meds after surgery.

Thoughts? Comments?

I did, just had it removed today 7 days post. It sucked...

I know every doc is different...But I wanted to know how many of you had drains upon discharge from the hospital?

I commend you on all of your accomplishments!! I pray things will get better for you.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I haven't had surgery yet so I don't have any experiences for you.

????Renea in AL

Bless her heart. I'm praying for her. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

Honey, you sound like me. I watched my mom go so through so much due to her weight.

I simply brought it up to my PCP and she was so helpful finding me a great surgeon. She has had several patients go through WLS and knew all of what was needed on her end.

Good luck!

Thank u so much...I get nervous and wouldn't have thought to say "without my meds".

Had my EGD last Friday. I had some gas and soreness in my throat. Took it easy the rest of the day and felt great on Saturday.

I'm so sorry. I know you are frustrated. I always say "Everything happens for a reason.". It's the only way I can keep my spirits up when things like that happens.

????Renea in AL

That is wonderful. I'm so proud for you. Keep up the work.

I have severe depression and a severe anxiety disorder with PTSD, I was cleared for surgery, I also have a long history of being hospitalized for my conditions. But it ha been nearly two years since I was hospitalized and I have been through a ton of therapy, the psychologist just wanted to see that I was now stable on my Meds and not being hospitalized all the time and he asked for a letter of recommendation from my psychiatrist. But I had my surgery last Monday dec 5

Congratulations!!

So it looks as if my 15 years of waiting is over..I finally have insurance that covers Sleeve Surgery.

I have Mental Illness. I'm diagnosed with Anxiety, Depression, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm concerned about getting clearance from my psychiatrist (I've just became her patient 3 mths ago).

Is there anyone on here who has been diagnosed with Mental Illness and has/had difficulty for surgery clearance?
