MEDS DISCONTINUED BEFORE SURGERY?
I'M HAVING SURGERY MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 15; EXCISION OF RIGHT NECK MASS, RIGHT (AND POSSIBLE LEFT) NECK DISSECTION, MULTIPLE BIOPSIES OF TONGUE. MY QUESTION IS, DO I NEED TO DISCONTINUE MY FISH OIL CAPSULES AND/OR FLAXSEED OIL CAPSULES? IF SO, WHEN?
THANKS,
BEVERLY

To be on the safe side, I'd discontinue all meds, including the dietary supplements that you mentioned, at the same time. Usually, that would be the evening before the scheduled procedure... follow the instructions that you were given and go by the time that you were told.
