DDA84 2 Posted July 9, 2011 Hi everybody! I had a question - it may be silly, but I was just wondering... My surgery is on Monday, and two days ago I had 2 glasses of wine. I didn't even think about the fact that alcohol is a blood thinner. Is there a possibility that this could adversely affect my surgery?? I'm having nightmare visions of me bleeding out on the table or something. HELP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted July 10, 2011 I had a margarita 12 hours before my surgery (doc said I could) and i'm fine. I don't think you need to worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chef neil 25 Posted July 10, 2011 as long as it is red wine they won't be able to tell drink Water, be glad you had it... Have a nIce wonderful surgery- all will be fine! I'm not sure what Heperin does exactly, I think it thins your blood, but they shoot you up every 12 hours with it... and it's the worse of all shots...
