A member asked:
If i was prescribed 40mg of prednisone for 1week and have abdominal surgery in late march, will that effect surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your body will have excreted any remnants of the prednisone within days and any bodily effects will have normalized within a couple of weeks. You should be good-to-go for surgery. Good Luck!
