Hi,

I was told by my nurse in my pre-op to stop taking vitamins and using bio oil or cocoa butter 2 weeks before my op, was anyone else told anything similar? It doesn’t quite seem right to me.

I would also like to know this?! I thought using bio oil and vitamins before the op would be a good thing?

I wasn’t told to do either when I had my BA. I know you can’t use deodorant or moisturiser on day of op but that’s about it x

Had a little look online and it is advised to stop taking vitamins 2 weeks before, especially vitamin E.

Didn’t really want to stop the bio oil thing because I’m prone to stretch marks but I don’t want to go against what my nurse said

Mine said 2 weeks previous to anything as it may thin the blood. Just being over cautious I think. But I’m going to do everything by the book to look after them. X

I’ve been using it before the op for my skin to help reduce the chance of stretch marks. I’ve been told to stop 2 weeks before my op which is 4th March not sure when I can start up again I’m going to ask the nurse in my post op x
