I got a call from my case manager for dr. Lo. She asked if I had upped my vits and protein (I am 2.5 weeks pre-op). I had done the protein because of reading it here, but they had never mentioned when/how I was supose to up vits. Any idea? Do I just start taking 2 multi vits?
Dr. LoMonaco recommends the Vitamedica program. Both my mother and I who had surgery with him, were given the vitamins by the case manager. Give her a call and ask about them. (You need to start these two weeks out).
Aloha Missy-
Good luck! I was told to STOP multivites containing Vit E ( prolongs bleeding times) and watch the protein shakes that contain it as well. Dr. LM must have another protocol, or does not beleive the amount of Vit E is sufficient to cause bleeding problems.

Yes- Dr. Lo does not want you taking any Vit. E. Ginger is right- you should be taking his VitaMedica starting at 2 weeks preop. Is Elizabeth your coordinator? Give her a call.
Are you getting excited about your surgery? You are in terrific hands!
