I'm just wondering if anyone else had to do these injections after surgery. I noticed it on my 'things to do before surgery' list. and I've talked to others that have had WLS and no one else has had them.

Oh ya, 2 shots twice a day in the stomach for I think 2 weeks, it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, so if you need to do it, don't sweat it. Good luck !!!!!

I had to do them also... just find a stretch mark - it hurts less in a stretch mark!!

 I had to do them for two weeks... I couldn't do it myself.. I made my boyfriend.  lol  

They sucked!  burns like hell....  I ended up doing it in my leg and that was it. 

I had to do them becuase of past history with blood clots and a pulmonar embolism. 

so it was worth the pain to make sure I didn't go through that again. 

 Realize Band 11/2009 ... revision to RNY 12/27/11.
