Having my surgery June 15 an went fir my PATTS last week. I asked the nurse about Heprin shots n she seemed not to know anything about them. Anyone who's had surgery at Humber did u need them? And can you pay by cash or credit card? How much?
Thanks,
Lilla

Hi Dee,
The appt with Dr Glaser went good. It's very quick, checks ur heart and asks you a whole bunch of questions about your health. I was with him a total of 15min n wait maybe 20mins to be called in. Good luck with your journey.

HI Lilla
I had to use heprin shots for 2 weeks. They cost I think around $275.00. Dr Glazer will give you a prescription. I had to pick mine up at the Shoppers Drugmart at Jane and Finch. Good luck. Barb

Thanks Barb, I guess I'll get the prescription after surgery. Do you inject them at the same time every day? Where? Does it hurt?
Thanks,
Lilla

i had to start using them the day after surgery.....the nurse will teach you how to do it.....they will show you a video of how to give it and where.....i had to do mine in the lower part of my belly......once you are ready to leave the hospital dr glazer will give you a script......not all of the drug stores carry them...... i got my at the shoppers drug mart at the mall on jane and finch....they are quite high in price.....but they dont hurt....i just had tons of little blue bruses on my belly....good luck with everything.

Hi Lilla
No they dont hurt.. You alternate spots on your belly. The nurse will show you how to do it. I started taking them in the hospital. It was freaky at first giving myself needles, but you get over it fast. (or at least I did). Barb

You can pick them up from the drugstore in the building beside the hospital if you have some form of coverage they accept that as well.

I am having mine in Guelph but sure I will be on thinners as i have a blood clotting disorder but I had to take shots 10 months with my pregnancies and it doesnt hurt at all, The odd one I would catch a ouchie spot but rarely.

Hi Lilla, I had my surgery at HRRH and Dr. Glazer prescribed immohep for me(heprin) for 8 days after surgery my insurance covered 80% of the cost at the pharmacy, I guess , depending on your situation and condition after surgery. hope this helped
