Title: stoping asprin b4 surgery
Post by masonsmom on Jul 9^th, 2009 at 4:01pm

I was told to not stop taking my asprin before my surgery... Is that the same for most everyone else here?

Dr Steinberg did my surgery and I did not stop taking aspirin until the day before surgery. I usually take the aspirin at night, so I did not take it the night before surgery. My surgery was not scheduled until 1pm. Other that that I took the aspirin every day.

We were told to take my daughter off her aspirin for 2 weeks before her surgery. I was very nervous about it but she did fine. She was only 7 months old at the time so that may have had something to do with it.

I was told by the doctor who was originally going to do my last surgery to stop taking it 2 weeks before surgery. I ended up having my surgery with Dr. Steinberg and took it until the day before surgery. I wonder if it is a doctor preference issue?

My daughter's hematologist mentioned that a week before any surgery she should stop the aspirin. But, we are a week out before her pial synangiosis and when I called Dr. Scott's office I was told that they feel it is better to keep taking the aspirin until shortly before the surgery. Probably the day or so before we will stop. So maybe the old thought on halting a week or two early has changed.
