Supps for surgery

[Whacked]

Going to have some minor shoulder repair work in 2 weeks. I procrastinated for years

What supps should I avoid OR increase around surgery?

Vitamin and E and Fish Oil are OUT.

What else? Anything to avoid .....anything to add to help healing?

What sort of procedure are you going to have? (Out-Patient, or IN)

out patient: open-shoulder rotator cuff surgery

I'll be in a sling for four to six weeks. considered a mild procedure.

Sling for 4- 6 weeks, Rehab for 4-6 months. It's mild compared to SLAP's, but don't be fooled, it's a long road.

L-Glutamine, Protein, and BCAA's are the only things that I would take.

Cissus has helped me with my recent surgeries. I've had my right shoulder done twice, rotator cuff, it's a long/slow recovery! Good luck man and take it slow & easy. Getting the pain pump/drip?

Ed: yup!

How many days before surgery should I stop the Vitamin E and fish oil?

Is there anything else I should stop asap?
