Fish oil and bleeding/surgery

Posted by saturn on March 1, 2007, at 22:32:43


I may be having elective surgery and was told by the surgeon to stop fish oil and vitamin E for two weeks prior to surgery.

I think the doc says that for all vitamin E supplements and just wonder if 2 weeks is sufficient time for high dose fish oil (about 2 grams omega-3 per day).

I mentioned this and he just said to stop for two weeks. Does anyone have any experience or first-hand knowledge of whether this is sufficient amount of time to stop? Thanks.
