Lovenox Injections

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 !!!!!

Also had to do 2 shots a day for 2 weeks to avoid blood clots... Dr Roye is hte best isn't he?

thanks.. I'm familiar with lovenox, had to take the shots after my foot surgery in 08, was just surprised to see it for this type of surgery..
and yes, Dr Roye's awesome :)

Wishing you good health. Contact me if you need added support! My thoughts are with you!

Yep 2 shots a day for two weeks....
Love Dr. Roye :o)

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

I also had to do lovenox, twice a day but only for one week?

 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.
