I don't think this has been asked

[Guest guest]

Just to let you know that the doctor will let you know when you need to stop

taking the meds.....as it happened to me also....

Hi Everybody:

Today, I found out that I can have my TT on January 17--with the surgeon

that did my open RNY --his patients rave that his TT's are really great -so

quick because I'm, as usual, a self-pay.

Anyway I had a question that I don't think has been covered recently--Here

goes:

I am currently on three meds for my heart (two leaking valves probably

phen-phen created)--Anyway, I take:

Digoxin--0.25mg

Coumadin (Warfarin Sodium)--5mg

Coreg--6.25mg

Is there a period of time you should stop the drugs--especially the

coumadin? I have an appt. with my cardiologist on Friday, but was

curious--- Thanks in advance for the help.

There are some meds that you may be asked to stop prior to surgery but

your cardiologist or surgeon would be able to tell you that before hand.

I certainly wouldn't want to mess with that.

I'm sure there is, but this is a question you should definitely ask your doc,

not the list.

Let your PS know about this immediately. I am on some blood-thinning stuff

and it caused a major hitch after my last surgery. You really, really want

them to know.
