Answer: What vitamins or foods should be avoided before surgery and what would be helpful ? Thank you for the question.You'll find that every practice has a different routine when it comes to pre-operative appointments. Therefore the advice you receive online may not be relevant. In our practice, during the preoperative visit ( typically done several weeks prior to surgery) patients are given a list of do's and don'ts that will help them get through the surgery and recovery safely. We review medical history and obtain any necessary preoperative workup necessary. This may include EKG and/or laboratory values depending on the patient's specific situation. "Dos and don'ts" regarding the use of medications, herbs, alcohol, nicotine, foods etc. are reviewed in detail ((before and after surgery) I hope this helps.
