Medicine before icd surgery

my file says no med holds before surgery but I’m taking aspirin which I stopped 1 wk ago but forgot about the multivitamin still taking - problem? Kind of irritated that I’m having to look this up and remember from my bypass

I highly doubt that it's a problem.

When is surgery? It's probably not an issue but call tyour doctor's office.  The surgeon should know everything.  I was told to stop Eliquis the day before but continue everything else.

Thanks for your input

surgery is tomorrow.  This is rushed whereas bypass was planned an organized.  Realize it’s a lot diff but frustrating: thank you
