Have any of you had to give yourself the anti blood clot injections? Surgery is Friday and my Dr prescribed shots for 2 weeks. I watched a you tube video with good tips, but I'm still scared of giving myself these!

Yes I had to do the same. Very easy to give and the needle is very small.

hahahaha! Love injections is an entirely different subject.....but I hope I am "receiving" those quickly after surgery too ;) I hate needles so the YouTube video was very helpful - freeze the area for 20 minutes first and take it sssssllllloooowwwww

I did not have to freeze any part of my body and I just took it directly in my stomach alteration sides. Did your nurse at the hospital not provide guidance/show you how to administer?

Surgery is Friday. I know they will show me but the freezing the area is a good idea. I don't like needles or pain :)

I had to take lovenox for 30 days. They showed me how at the hospital and Inever froze any part of my tummy. Had never given myself an injection before and was freaking out until I did it myself in the hospital. Be prepared for lots of bruising but very little pain. Think positive. You will do fine.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
