What about a GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist like mounjaro or meds like saxenda or ozempic if taking for weight loss. Thanks

Hi, thanks for your great presentation. I was wondering how you summarize all these trials. Any good resources and good suggestions for keep updating? Thanks!

One of my surgeons wanted to continue the Warfarin right after a surgery, in a then healthy 50 year old with a history of a MI. Would it be appropriate to give the Warfarin right after surgery or is it generally restarted day 1 post op? Thank you! Your videos are EXCELLENT!!

I have a request on a video, if you create a video can you please comment letting me know. Im curious about a video on patients who are on chronic pain management at roughly the hightest MME "allowed", and how patient get post op pain control. Trying to find any videos on tbis to settle my anxiety prior to my upcoming surgeries.

[@nguyenpham7328]

Thank you for amazing videos. However, I check Uptodate and it recommends ACEI/ARBs should be continued up to day of surgery and hold morning dose. Any thoughts, sir?

[@ConanLiuMD]

Yes that is what I would recommend as well!

Thanks

What about thyroid medications we should hold it or take it before thyroid and non thyroid surgeries

[@ConanLiuMD]

I addressed it in this video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3yWaIF-fsdmiZo If they are stable and well controlled, I would just continue it

I took 15ml of Nyquil and herb supplement today 07/29 and my surgery is on 08/12 should I still be okay? or do I need to postpone surgery?

[@lindanambahu1142]

[@alcambrola2834]

Can I take nitroglycerin before an endoscopy?

[@arielparker2570]

Can you take birth control combination pills before the surgery?

[@asong5328]

Can you take antihistamines within 5 days of surgery for allergies

[@ConanLiuMD]

Yes it should be okay

Last year i had MVR cabg and i am on warf. But from the last 3 months i have inguinal hernia and surgeon advice me to stop warf 5 days before the surgery date. He doesnt told me about BRIDGING THING? Next month is my surgery and my age is 67 yr old.

[@ConanLiuMD]

I would definitely send him a message and ask if you should bridge with heparin during the 5 days you aren't on warfarin, due to your history of mitral valve replacement! Mechanical valves especially
