You'll likely be getting a subcutaneous injection—you know, under the skin—to help thin your blood so there isn't any risk of blood clots forming. Honestly, it's really nothing to worry about! It's not painful at all, and you'll probably just get another round of them after the surgery too. I hope that helps clear things up a bit!
Best,
