      Hello, I have my TKR next month so I have been reading things that I should do and things I shouldn’t. I am on vitamin C, D3, B-complex, zinc, and calcium before TKR? Please let me know.

        @remington-0 Hello, vitamin C, vitamin D3, B vitamins, and all herbal supplements should all be stopped 1-week pre-surgery (including your multivitamin). Before surgery, there are certain foods that may interfere with anesthesia, bleeding time, immune function, and healing time. These items should be avoided. Thank You.
