I guess it depends. I'm taking aspirin right up till surgery day and resuming as soon as they confirm no bleeding. Of course mine is based on my Cardiologist's orders.

Enteric coated is better. To eliminate damage potential to your little stomach.

I had my first ever atrial fibrillation event about 8 month prior to my sleeve surgery. My cardiologist requires that I take an adult aspirin (325mg) every day for my clot/stroke risk. I chose to take 4 baby aspirin each day (4x81mg), two with Breakfast and two with dinner. My sleeve surgeon and my cardiologist duked it out about whether I would continue the aspirin after my sleeve. My cardiologist won! I still take daily aspirin without any noticeable ill effects.

Shouldn't you be taking warfarin vs aspiring??
