Vitamins

Hi All, I got conflicting information about taking my vitamins in the pre op phase so I stopped all supplements including the multi vitamin. Now I feel like I’m coming down with a cold and wanted to give myself a boost with some Vitamin C. My surgery is on Friday. Is this allowed?

      I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, so I'd ask your team. From what I've heard large doses of vitamin C, like 1000 mg, can thin the blood, and that wouldn't be a good thing before surgery.

    What information did you receive? My dr told me to start taking them during my preop stage.

    I was told to stop as well, due to potential complications, including thinned blood. If you were told to stop, then stop. I wouldn't risk it personally... but you do what you have to do... I would just consult your surgeon/surgical team before doing anything that could jeopardize your surgery.

    Good luck!
