    I took multivitamins before my op but was advised to stop taking anything for two weeks before my surgery (vitamins, contraceptive pill, etc.). I am back to taking them as normal afterwards. I’m taking iron, zinc and vitamin A&D; vitamin E is my main one especially as I know it’s good for my skin. I’d double check with the nurse when you have your pre-op appointment as advice varies. I know a lot of girls advise to take arnica tablets pre and post op to help with bruising. I didn’t take these and haven’t suffered too much with bruising. Just depends on you as an individual. Hope it goes well for you xx

    I spoke to my surgeon about the contraceptive pill, and it’s only one specific brand of pill that they advise you to stop taking. I’m on rigevedon?? Or something like that and she said it was fine to carry on that one. In terms of vitamins, a multivitamin should cover all, don’t go taking loads of different ones else you’ll just be wasting money and they’ll be going straight through you. The advice is to not take them two weeks before as there is no conclusive evidence into what effect they might have on blood pressure and may thin the blood. Neither of which would be great on the operating table. Good luck with all your plans xxx
