DS patients- how many weeks before surgery were you asked to stop taking your vitamins?
Hi all,
I figured I needed to stop taking my vitamin E before surgery but ALL vitamins for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after plastic surgery concerns me. Its been 5 years since my duodenal switch and I am pretty strict about my vitamin routine and have kept my blood work in the normal range for nearly 4 years now.
How many weeks before/after surgery were you asked to stop taking your Multi, D, E, A, calcium etc.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
I stopped Vit E 15 days prior to surgery. I picked up the MakeMeHeal vitamins, for before and after surgery for my multi's. I never stopped all my other vitamins. I did start taking Vit E about 2 weeks out. I continued taking all my dry vits - A&D, and added K before this last surgery in Jan. I was taking my vits the day after surgery, plus the MakeMeHeal w/o E. I also continued to take my calcium, and iron... Dr Sauceda had my full list of vitamins.

I had to up my K as my clotting factor was high, which meant my K was low.
