I will be having minor surgery in a couple of days. I took 500mg of aspirin, this morning (52 hours pre-surgery), before hearing from my doctor's office that I should not do so. My doctor's nurse said not to worry, but my sister-in-law (also a nurse) said I should cancel the surgery, which has been scheduled for almost a year. I would really appreciate any guidance from individuals with a medical background. In case it is relevant, I am a fairly healthy adult female. Thank you!

  2. You should discontinue aspirin about 1 wk before surgery to reduce risks of bleeding
