Herbs we cannot have post-op?
I have never heard of a restriction on garlic (or any other herbs). Not only do I frequently EAT garlic, I also use garlic oil pills for the occasional upset stomach.
Ask the doctor why he has this restriction.

Garlic is GREAT for stomach upsets of various kinds. My grandmother and mother always gave us garlic pills when we were ill (and that was before you could get them with chlorophyll to keep you form belching garlic for an hour afterward!) and I never had any kind of OTC treatment like Pepto Bismol until I was in college!
