hi hun,
i think i read somewhere on this forum that the general advice is to stop taking supplements a while before your surgery, but am sure it also depends on the kind, so maybe best to just give your clinic / nurse a quick call to check, just to make sure x

I'm pretty sure surgeons prefer yout stop vitamin tablets. I know arnica is fine but other vitamins are a no. Maybe call your clinic and ask? x

I was told to stop all tablets, even vitamin supplements 2 weeks before surgery! But every surgeon is different. So I would give the clinic a quick ring Huni x better to be safe than sorry xx

Are you sure you heard right babe?
As far as I'm aware ALL vitamins should be stopped for a 2 week period on the run up to your BA babe due to the effect they may have on your recovery.

Re: Does anybody know?
Glad you got the advice you needed from your clinic hun. Not long to the big day now
Re: Does anybody know?
I was told to stop all vitamins but to start arnica 2 weeks before. Arnica is a homeopathic remedy not a vitamin so its a bit different but only take something on your surgeons advice.

I was also told not to eat anything with garlic in it as its a natural anti coagulant (blood thinner!)
