I didn't realize I shouldn't be taking vitamin e before surgery. If I stop today, would it still be OK to have surgery?

I have breast reduction surgery. I stopped taking all NSAIDs but I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to take vitamin E. There's 15 mg in my daily supplement. Will it still be safe to have surgery in four days?
