Avoiding supplements pre-op?

I was not given any restrictions of things to avoid pre op in the area of supplements and vitamins. I bought Yogi Berry Detox tea today, I figured since I started my pre op diet today I would drink a cup a day. I happened upon an article today that said it was best to avoid ginger root in the week before a surgery. Has anyone been given supplements to avoid before surgery?

    I was told to stop fish oil, vitamin E, CoQ10, NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) 10 days before surgery as they can all interfere with blood clotting.

    Yes, we were told to stop NSAIDS a week before surgery.
