Anti-clotting shots

Hello i have surgery with dr mary anne aarts or dr Jamie cyriac on October 6th...i heard that some surgeons send people home with shots they have to take.. And this could cost $300.00.. For people that had either surgeon.. Did they send you home with these shots??  

I had a different doctor but yes we are normally sent home with these needles to take for a week I believe to prevent clotting. If you have drug benefits it is covered under your plan. 

I was at TWH on Tuesday,  I got 4 shots in the hospital, but wasn't sent home with anything for clots.

I think it is very much dependent on your health history. I have deep vein thrombosis and I had to take Inno-hep shot ( blood thinners) for 30 days. I have insurance that paid for it. A surgery I had for a knee replacement two years ago and only had shots for 1 week. 

I was at TWH and had shots while in the hospital but they didn't send me home with any. 

My surgery was done by Dr. Jamie Cyriac on Wed. I had shots in the hospital - but not sent home with any.

The nurse practitioner at humber went over all that with me and the cost, it depends o your weight mine she said would be $100.0 or so little less, social worker went over lot of costs also,   they would would include them I they were necessary 

I had surgery at HRRH by yes I was sent home on Enoxaparin shot. I had to be on them for 30 days post-op due to new history of blood clots but I believe more people it's for 8 days. I had insurance to cover the cost of my injections so I don't remember the cost.

I had my surgery this past Friday with Dr. Grantcherov.  I was given blood thinners at the hospital but was not sent home with any.  It depends on how your surgeon chooses to order your aftercare.
