Dear Demetra99, We recommend stopping all herbal medications for 2 weeks before and 1 week after surgery. You should double check with your surgeon to see what their recommendations are. Good Luck!
Thank you for your question.It is ultimately up to your surgeon to determine what you should stop taking prior to your procedure. He or she will most likely give you a list of medications and supplements that they require you to stop taking for a specified amount of time leading up to and following your procedure.

This process and the meds taken for it can affect healing. I would speak with your rheumatologist to see whether he/she thinks your severity as well as the meds you may be on for it are significant enough to affect healing. The issue is that a complication for a purely elective surgery...
