SeaBreeze, I noticed you said Coumadin is an ingredient in ratsack, Warfarin is also a main ingredient in ratsack, so any one on warfarin generally has to be weaned of it for a while before having an operation.

Definitely, any medication or supplements (like vitamin E) that thin the blood, should be discontinued in preparation for surgery, otherwise there may be serious problems with excessive bleeding.
