Hi
I may need surgery in a few weeks for a broken foot (details on neurological side effects thread of this section)
The doctor told me that people on anti-virals do have surgery and usually just have to miss the dose on the day of surgery, which should be ok.
He didnt think it was a major concern as I was worried about it also.

However, I am just reassuring you as to what I was told, and I am not a doctor.
 It is imperative that it is disclosed to the surgeon that Harvoni is being taken and let them make a clinical judgement.
Good luck with it all
Nicola

I had an upper endoscopy while on treatment not quite surgery but was still unconscious for procedure. I took my dose after I was awake so did not miss my meds that day. But as was said above make sure her doctors know about being on treatment for hep c with Sovaldi declatasvir
