Finally got approved and set the surgery date for 8/8/16. My only issue is I was just electrically cardioverted and have to be sure I stay on my Eliquis for 30 days. That puts me 2 days past my surgery date. Does anyone thing it will kill me if I stop taking the Eliquis in time to have my surgery on the originally scheduled date or should I put it off a week?

You need to discuss this with cardiologist and surgeon! Too dangerous to guess.

Let me know what they say. I'm on Eliquis too but I haven't met with my surgeon yet. The research I've done showed that you could still have surgery but they may require you to stop a couple of days before.

My surgery has been moved to the 15th. The cardiologist doesn't have a problem with waiting 48 hours but my surgeon wants to wait 5 days.

Wow! Well, I guess 5 days is better than 30.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
