The ASMBS recommends different vitamins for different surgeries. Which one are you having? And if your surgery is just two days away, hasn't your surgeon talked to you about that yet?

You're not having any metabolic or malabsorption changes, so your nutritional needs will be the same as they are today. The challenge is that you will be unable to consume what your body needs, so a multi may do the trick for you. The iron needs should depend on your bloodwork and B gives energy. There are hair/skin/nail combination multi's available, but don't be conviinced that they will benefit at all for hair loss. Telogen effluvium is the result of the growth cycle rebooting, not malnutrition. It occurs 3-5 mos post op, then lasts a few months and stops no matter what vitamin or expensive shampoo you buy.
