I am scheduled to have a hernia repaired and a Tummy Tuck on Monday 3/5/01.

I just realized that I should have stopped taking my vioxx a week prior to surgery. Has anyone been on Vioxx prior to surgery and how far in advance did your doctor have you stop. Anyone out there that took it right up to surgery date. I have been off of the vioxx for 3 days prior and I hope that I will be able to have the surgery Monday and not have to reschedule. Any hope that I will be able to.
