I had to start on plavix and aspirin 5 days prior to surgery. After the surgery they may put you in steroids. They have proven to make me sick, so they stopped them. You will probably be on a bloodthinner and aspirin for a few months after. They will help the blood to not clot around the stent. I have had a dull headache since my procedure, ny that appears to be common.I was extremely nervous and scared.his site helped me a lot. There is a lot of support from people who know exactly how you feel. I came home the day after the surgery. My Annie is already occluded I found out today. I do feel tired and fuzzy. I have never been put to sleep, I think its the effects if the anesthesia. I am very glad I went through with it! Kelly ---
