I read the forum, at length, at times... going way back. I am a researcher. I like info and knowledge. That being said, it seems many of you are in the same boat as my sister in law. She has several subscriptions and is scheduled for surgery. She has not disclosed any information with her surgeon. I suggested she stop for a week prior, but I honestly think she cannot at this point. I think she is addicted to one of them. I just asked the question to see how you all handle disclosure. That is all. Sorry for the confusion.
If it is a scheduled surgery, I would stop all meds that the doctor does not know about, even if that means a few rotten days of withdrawal. Give my body time to clear all the meds out before surgery but not tell the doctor. Now if it is an emergency surgery? Yes, I would tell them as they need to know for possible fatal drug interactions. Just my 2 cents
Faith and fear can not coexist
