how long did you take blood thinner (xarelto)?

Edit Post

How long after surgery is it absolutely safe to stop taking Xarelto and chances of blood clot becomes zero? Given the fact that there is a confirmed death due to blood clots ( the guichet guy story that Puru had posted), I think this is a very crucial subject. Any inputs?

I will ask of course, I just wanted to see public opinion on this topic as well.

update: my original plan was to exhaust my pills and then ask the doc (have 15 left) but 2 days ago i had a head bump concussion and blood thinner taking is very bad in that situation, so i stopped immediately and today texted the doc's assistant who confirmed that it is ok to stop.
