Well, Vitamin K helps the blood to clot and stops excessive bleeding. Not sure why that would be prescribed as we have to take blood thinners right before surgery and then for a period after.

I recall someone else posting a while ago saying they had been prescribed Vitamin K as well.

The reason I am bringing this up more than 4 months after my surgery is that I found my vial that I was suppose to take and thank god I am okay and nothing happened but I guess I never took it but I do remember having to take some pill form for a few days after the surgery. lol
