PT/INR

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the message . I have been on 10mg of coumadin for

about a year. My INR was between 2.0 and 3.0. That was so I did not

develop more blood cloths. I could stop taking my coumadin and get

back on Loveanox shots which I can stop the day of the surgery then

get back on right after the surgery. I know there are lots of risks,

but I have to get rid of this hernia. Even if I have to get another

transplant doctor to do it for me. I can not spend the rest of my

life with this head growing out of my stomach. (How ever long that

is). I am happy you came to my page and left a message. I have a

wonderful group of friends there for support. Can you come back and

leave a message about you? When were you listed. What symptoms are

you going through? Lots of questions and I would like to get to know

ya.. Thanks to all for the love and prayers !!!

Ken, 7 mg of coumadin is a pretty high dose if you take it daily. Is

the doc not wanting to do hernia surgery because he does not want to

lower your pt/inr into a safe operating level because of the risk of

increased clotting? . psc 5/6 listed. (heartrn in psc group)
