Hi, has anyone had a hysterectomy, and how was it?
I am on both warfarin and clopidogrel.
Kind regards Anja

Yes, I have. It was just fine! Just had to go off of warfarin, INR had go down to about 1 or so, bridge with jabs. After the surgery my PCP helped me go back to correct level, after I used all my jabs, with warfarin.
I have and it was the best thing I ever did! No issues and fully recovered after 6 weeks. Don’t worry just make sure you have a good anticoagulation plan and stay positive.
Thank you so much 😊 This will be my first surgery after my diagnosis and I am a bit afraid of coming off warfarin and clopidogrel. It took months in the beginning to get my inr in range 🫣I will try to think positive, and I do trust my hematologist 😅
Thankyou for posting this as I have been offered this operation and I am so afraid.I have never had an operation and when I get an injury I am very slow to heal.I also have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis etc and take lots of meds.After positive replies I will now go ahead with the op.I wish you well with yours
I was on phenindione (very similar to warfarin). I had to come off of it about a week before and bridge with enoxaparin injections. I had nothing the day of the surgery, started injections and phenindione the day after. Once I was at my target inr stopped the injections. I had a bit of extra bruising but that was all. Best thing I ever did. Good luck x
just want to say, usually with APS the bridging plan might be slightly different than a “normal” warfarin patient. Make sure surgeon and hematologist are working together and have liased/ consulted with one another on your case regarding the surgery and bridging plan .
