Skyrizi and surgery...

[keithmoon]

I am currently getting Skyrizi infusions and am in between the second and third dose. Third dose is due in two weeks, but I am going to be scheduled for shoulder surgery (rotator cuff) sometime in the next 4-5 weeks. I am getting conflicting information about stopping the skyrizi for one cycle before, and 14 days after the surgery. Or whenever the surgeon thinks healing is done. Has anyone run in to this dilemma ? Any advice or information would help.
thanks

Way back when they used to tell you to stop before abd 14 days after .
They did this for my son’s humira when he was 9
(11 years ago )
I would ask your Gi
But I don’t believe they stop them anymore .

Thank you. I don't want to stop unless I have to, but I really need this surgery.
I will talk to one of the GI's minions whenever they decide to call back.
thanks again
