Stop vitamins before surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to set up my appointment for late Feb. for a modified TT (skin only) and brachio. I am so anxious.

I need to just call, pay the deposit and commit to it.

i will have an appointment 2 weeks before to discuss details but i wanted to ask if any of you had to stop your high dose Vitamin for a day or longer before surgery.

I have had surgery 3x since my RNY 5 years ago, and every time they have me stop ALL supplements for 7 days beforehand.

I was told to stop 1 week before as well, but I totally forgot to to stop. Oopsies. I ended up taking them right up to the day before surgery. I didn't remember that I was supposed to stop until like a week AFTER surgery 🙄

P.S. So excited for you!!!

No, I was told to keep taking all my Vitamins. I just had to stop fish oil because it's a blood thinner.

Hi! I’m going in on Wednesday for an arm lift and my surgeon said it was ok to take my Vitamins but just didn’t want me taking any Vitamin E. My multi vitamin has some vitamin E in it but it’s low enough that it’s ok to still take. Good luck!
