    Blood thinners- you give them to yourself in the stomach. Lovenox is said to be expensive.

    oh, I had the injections while in hospital for 2 days, insurance did pay; I did not need after I went home.

    Yes Im self pay and the dr. ordered Lovanox. It was $160!! That was for 40 of them though...I hated doing them twice a day, but in all actuality giving myself the injection wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be :)

    If your BMI was over 50 it is commonly a post surgical Rx to avoid clots. I needed 30 days and self injected them (was easy). Insurance did pay for most (I had a copay.)
