Supplements to take pre or post BA

Hey girls

Was just wondering if any of you were advised to start taking any supplements/vitamins to prepare for your BA - to help with the healing process etc. Im hoping to book to have my BA in June so if i do need to take anything i better start now really.

Advice appreciated. Thank you xx

I wasn't told to take anything, but you could always ask your surgeon what to take (I know some surgeons say not to take certain vits).

Might be a good time to start with the bio oil to make sure you don't get many stretchmarks.

I've just come back from seeing the nurse as my BA is next Friday and I had a few things I wanted to know - I was told not to take any herbal supplements or vitamin tablets. She did say to take arnica a week before my op and for two weeks after to help with bruising. Theres no guarantee it will make a difference but she's noticed that those who have taken it don't seem to have so much bruisng when she sees them for the first check after the op.

I was told I wasn't allowed to take anything at all 2 weeks before. No vitamins or asprin. No garlic either! As they think the blood therefore slow healing down.

But I used palmers cocoa butter on my boobs for 2 months before to avoid stretch marks. And take arnica 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. X

Just ask at ur pre op huni as every clinic tells different things and as u have paid for their care u should go by their advice!

Although my nurse didn't say anything about cocoa butter but I just thought about that and did it off my own accord :-) xxxx

i was told not to take any supplements preBA cuz that may have effects on ur operation.
but im free to take them after BA xx
