When to d/c supplements prior to surgery?

[Settledownnow]

I have upped my normal vitamin/min intake to help build my stores prior to my RNY to DS revision. At what point should we stop taking supplements prior to surgery? I will check with my surgeon for his specific instructions, but just looking for general guidelines.

Also, I always stop taking supplements for a day prior to getting bloodwork done. I do not recall where I got the idea that we needed to d/c supplements for a day. Is this fact or fiction?

Mine says no blood thinning types of supplements a week before. That includes multi-vitamin b/c of its vitamin E. They're Ok with me taking my D until the day before.

But as I've learned, each doc has very different instructions. When is your surgery?

That is the time frame I was thinking @Clematis -- thanks! My surgery is not until Jan 6th.
