Thanks Dr. L -
I did have lovenox with my LBL, thigh lift and brachio -- and when I was hospitalized for 6 days with MRSA, and for the other infections and surgeries that I had after my LBL  I really didn't notice the injection, and since I used to work as a back office medical assistant, and am in nursing school, I gave them to myself in the hospital with the MRSA. Since I've been told after many of these surgeries to limit my activities due to my hx of complicated seromas, I would be even more at risk of blood clots, and I think the lovenox really helped.

 

I'm glad I used lovenox for 5 days after my LBL.  The chances of having a blood clot afterwards scared me more than the surgery itself!
