Are you having major surgery? If so, then you will have protection while your body rids itself of the Coumadin. It takes between 5-7 days for the Coumadin to be entirely removed from your body. The surgeon can then have you stop the Lovenox 24-36 hours before the surgery.
You will need to provide a lot more info if you are not having surgery to give you an answer.
