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.

      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! 😞
