Good luck with your operation on Thursday. I am no expert, but isn't it important to keep on taking regular medication even before an op. I am the worst offender as I just stop taking medication if it disagrees with me and I'm sure I've had "cold turkey" because of it.
I did hear lately of two people who had their ops cancelled because no-one told them to stop taking their warfarin beforehand, but that is just bad communication.
