Vitamins-Are you taking them before and/or after surgery?

By Angiemcc on 24 Mar 2011

Some doctors recommend certain vitamins and herbs to promote health and healing both pre-op and post-op, while others say to stop taking all vitamins. What are you doing about vitamins?

I was instructed to quit taking my vitamins 2 weeks prior to the surgery. I believe it is due to the fact that some vitamins thin your blood (I think vitamin E) which is obviously not something to encourage during surgery.

After doing alot of reading, I think I will lay off the vitamins for awhile.

I was told by my PS to take Arnica Montana pelets 3 days before surgery and 3 days after 3x a day and Bromelaine a week before surgery and week after as well as a muti and Vit C before and after. I must say I had zero bruising and hardly any swelling. Dont know if it was bc of the Arnica and Bromelaine but I didnt hurt taking them :)

I take a multivitamin everyday and the PS said that was fine however he did tell me to take 1,000MG of Vitamin C 2 weeks before and after surgery so that it can help with healing and swelling.
