Is Xarelto OK?
RNY on 08/28/13
The cardio wants to do a cardio version because I went into a-fib.
The cardio wants me on Xarelto first ...if Dr Kim agrees.
I am 6 days post op RNY.
Yes, I am trying to contact Dr Kim.
Any info that Xarelto damages the pouch?
thank you

I don't know much about Xarelto yet since it is newer and I'm just starting to get patients who are on it. I did find this abstract that may or may not be helpful to you. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23417780. Apparently it is rapidly absorbed by the upper GI tract.
As always, check with your surgeon.
