Vitamins pre surgery?

[karak817 6]

Are you supposed to take Vitamins on the pre surgery diet?

Your surgeon and dietitian would be best equipped to answer this question since all bariatric programs have differing requirements.

Some programs require pre-surgery supplementation, whereas others don't.

Personally, I wasn't required to take any Vitamins or supplementation until the first week after surgery.

I figure it can't hurt to make sure your body's stores are all full so I started a month early.

We took Vitamins in the months leading up to surgery....but the last week pre-surgery, we were told to stay off them.

We started them up again two weeks post-surg.

Yes, normally you want to stop taking the Vitamins 7 days before surgery to minimize bleeding. I think I started mine back up 6 weeks after surgery.
