Recycled 2,182 Posted January 9, 2014 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. 1 Success2013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scootergirl 118 Posted January 13, 2014 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?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
