Pre-op before reconstruction

Hello all

Today i had pre op assessment before my reconstruction friday, amongst all the usual questions I was asked whether I am currently taking any vitamins, homeopathic remedies etc...I do take a daily dose of vitamin D and liquid magnesium as this helps with fatigue, I mentioned that I do take these and was glad I did as I was told to stop taking them until after op as the anaesthetic could potentially mix with any of these things and have an undesirable effect. This might be well known practice but not to me as only ever had 1 previous op (mastectomy), so thought I'd mention on here in case it helps anyone. xx

Thats interesting. I went for my pre op assessment before my reconstruction (DIEP) last Thursday. I take daily vitamin D so it came up. I was told to continue taking it!!! I was told to stop taking ramiprimil the night before surgery (afraid bc treatment affected my heart ). I have had two ops and was not told to stop takeing vit D on either occasion. I wonder why you have.......

Sometimes Surgeons ask for certain Meds to be stopped, I was told to stop BP Meds & MXT (Methotrexate) by my Surgeon but Pharmacist said l didn't need too! But then said to be guided by Surgeon!
