The objective of this study was to discuss the evolution of three bariatric surgery VTE prophylaxis protocols and compare safety and effectiveness of each. Methods: A retrospective review of 364 bariatric surgery patients utilizing three different dosing regimens of enoxaparin was completed. Enoxaparin was continued for the duration of the hospital stay in all groups unless hemorrhage was suspected. Sequential compression devices were used during and after surgery. All patients were required to ambulate within 6 h of their procedure. Patients were discharged off all prophylaxis. Results: Inclusive of all groups, two patients (0.5%) developed VTE (p = 0.50), eight patients (2%) required transfusion (p = 0.95), and five patients (1.4%) required reoperation for hemorrhage (p = 0.19). Overallmortality was 0%. Conclusions: A VTE prophylaxis regimen of 40 mg Lovenox subcutaneous (SC) 1-2 h preoperatively followed by 1 mg/body-mass index (rounded to the nearest 10 mg) SC every 12 h until discharge coupled with mechanical VTE prophylaxis is simple, safe, and effective in bariatric surgery patients.
