    Hey Ems

    Yeah I have also been told you have to stop 7 days before the op…. although I do believe it depends on the surgeon. When is your pre-med? I’d ask the nurse then :)

    The last thing you are going to want is a blooming period when you can’t wipe your a**e at the best of times after surgery! lol <So I have been told!!>

    Heya Emma, I think with any surgery, you have to stop the pill a week before the op, it basically prevents blood cots, but im not 100% sure
