Stopping Warfarin before an operation.

It’s some years ago, but my MIL was admitted to Hospital 3 days before her op as she lived alone, so they could be sure she didn’t take her Warfarin.

I’d just ask the question now.

Thanks for replies. I was just wondering if anyone else had to do it and what they did, as opposed to what I should do if that makes sense. Anyway thanks for opinions much appreciated.

Will you have a pre-op assessment? That's a question for them. They must get asked that lots of times.

Well, Warfarin is a blood thinner, so it makes sense.

Only an expert could tell you! I have heard of both methods but as others have said ask your clinician.

Your clinician is the person to ask. None us are qualified to answer that question for a number of reasons.
It would be foolish and dangerous to offer that kind of advice on a public forum.

Good luck with your op.

Ask your doctor again because I doubt if you have heparin to inject.
