I have had to take lovenox 30 days post op and now my PCP is bridging me back to my daily lifelong dose of Coumadin (I have a history of 2 pulmonary embolisms with DVT). Let me know if you have any questions.

2 wks worth for me. i'm totally good with it considering that it is helping protect me from a pulmonary embolism, which i am terrified of...

Do you have a history of blood clotting disorders, AFIB or are you bedbound/immobile? 30 days seems quite long for someone without any history or pre-existing medical conditions....

My doctor requires a week of these shots after surgery.

If anyone would like to chime in what that's like to stick yourself or have someone else do it, I'd be interested in hearing it!

i learned something new! We got it in the hospital and that was that. It left a lot of bruising for a long time. I can't imagine what a month will do.

I never had anything after I left the hospital. I naturally bruise very easily so I can't imaging what a months worth would have done to me!

No history of anything like that nor am I immobile. I think it is routine. ????

Shots never bother me, but I have never had to give one to myself. My hubby watched the video and assures me he is up to the challenge. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
