I'm having surgery in 12 days (BA and Otoplasty- 3 hrs of surgery). I was told to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, & other blood thinning meds at least 14 days before surgery. I'm trying to get over my cold also, so have been also taking Emergen-C & turmeric 2x/day. I just read online that tumeric should be avoided at least 14 days prior to surgery as well. I just took it last night, and surgery is in 12 days. Do I need to reschedule my surgery, or am I close enough that I'll be okay?
