i am a smoker and coffe drinker, is it fine to drink coffe and smoke before operation in a few days? or i must stop smoking and drinking coffe before the surgery?
Also no Ibuprofin for a week before, do you have a pre-op physical scheduled? you can bring it up then, or just call your surgeons office. I dont see what drinking green tea would do for adverse reactions, but if your worried about it, definatly call and talk to someone.
Don't know who gave you that info but if Dr. said so, must have
a reason. I was told NO aspirin 7 days prior to surgery & no
herbals 10 days. As for Green Tea, I'd call ofc for explanation.
It's an immune system booster. Should stick w/ caffeine-free
& no tea/food 12 hrs. before admittance. Maybe it's the type of
surgery? Aspirin thins blood & can cause excessive bleeding.
Vitamin E can cause allergy response sometimes. I was given
green tea to sip just hrs. after a procedure. I also had it
12hrs pre-surgery. I'd call ofc. I know Chamomile is OK.
