Answer: Diet sheet Dear Mhurd, Sorry for your panic attack, but you can relax. In my 28 years of plastic surgery practice, I provide the patients with a diet sheet to follow 2 weeks before surgery. The list includes all the medication, supplements and foods that can interfere with the good outcome of surgery or complicate the anesthesia. So, since you took it 19 days before surgery, you are well within the safety time period before surgery. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Can I go ahead with my surgery after taking pre op meds? Pepto Bismol should not pose a problem with your surgery in 19 days. Most likely your surgeon provided you with a list of medications to avoid. This is most critical in the 14 day period before your surgery and for a period of time after surgery as well. If you have any question check with your surgeon.
