Increasing doses pre-surgery

Ever Changing · Jun 19, 2017

I'm having VSG to DS in just over two weeks. Given that right after surgery I won't be able to get my supplements down right away, I plan on increasing at least my D3 now to have a bit stored in my body.

I know that folate, biotin, and B1-B6 do not store in the body, but I think there is no harm in increasing my iron and my multi-vitamin for a couple of weeks. What do you think?

I would take CA, D, and 1 multi.

@Ever Changing Make sure you speak to the operating team. Some want you completely off supplements for a period of time prior to surgery. Esp. iron.

Thanks for your comments, Munchkin and aaa. I do plan on stopping some of my supplements pre-surgery, as discussed with the surgeon. Hope you're both having a great day.
