I know we are not supposed to take vitamin E, but what if it's in our multi vitamin? I will ask my PS, of course, but just wondering. OT, did anyone keep their little white pre-op panties. LOL

I picked up the MakeMeHeal vitamins w/o vit E.  They have them for 15 days before surgery and for 30 after.  I did Vit E at about 3 weeks out, because my skin was drying out so much.  I didn't have white pre-op panties.

Please post the answer from your ps. In the meantime if you google make me heal vitamins, apparently people have had complaints with them: see the link

I have not had ps & I am getting consults so I have no firsthand knowledge of the company, but I would like to know what others think of them

Thanks, I will ask my ps tomorrow, I've read where some Dr's say it's OK if it's in a multi vitamin, don't know what the difference its. I will look at the makemeheal site, I love that site. The pre-op panties are the ones they take your before pic's in, I figured I'd take some pic's  of my own. They are sort of string bikini, type.
Edited to add: I googled it and they sell them on Amazon. I've never ordered from makemeheal only used their message boards. Good to know I can buy them if needed.

 MRI,

I don't know anything about Vit E.

My PS is a big believer in pineapple helping with minimizing bruising.

I was instructed to eat a fresh pineapple the day before both of my surgeries.

I did the ves I could with my band and I had very, very.ittle swelling and bruising.

I've heard that about pineapple, but that is one thing that I get "stuck" on. I did buy the Bromelain, and I guess that is made from pineapple. Hope it works! Thanks!!

 I ate Pineapple before and after. Fresh. I was told no Vit E prior to surgery.

I know this is off topic but you (along with Chris, Elian, and Krissy) are my most favorite posters. You four always provide some of the most helpfrul information. I love that you come from a medical background and all the information you provide!

OK, MY Dr said I can take the E if it's in a multi tablet, not by itself! Of course check with your own PS.
OT: I've been buying up the stores, today I bought a "reacher" at walmart, some arm wraps that were in the sports section, (better than the ace bandages), water proof bed liners to keep my sheets clean of anything that might "seep" from me. LOL
Thanks everyone, you are all such a help!!
