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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
