Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Cindy I had surgery several years ago when I was still on Pred and Imuran. The only problems I had were that it took me a little longer to heal. If you have gained weight due to the pred. you might tell them. I had extra weight on and they gave me too much gas so it was harder for me to get woke up. You are on a much lower dose of pred than I was so it should be much easier for you. The reason for the slow healing is due to the Imuran and the suppressed immune system. I have just learned to take extra precausions when it comes to protecting my self from getting infections. If your Dr. is aware of your medical information it should go pretty well! Hope I made sense! Lots of Love Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
