Annie, I'm glad to hear you are on the surgery schedule. You probably didn't drink that much tea, and it should have cleared out if your system. It would have been a diluted version of the herbs. Take a deep breath, I think you will do fine. I think it is standard instructions to say no supplements for 2 weeks before surgery. It isn't that they know problems will happen, but they have no idea what patients are doing and they are being cautious.
Good luck!
Jennifer

Do you know if it's okay to take magnesium before the surgery? I was just reading that it actually can help a lot.

Yes I guess I'm still afraid. I'm trying to come to terms with it. I don't have extreme pain all the time which I was told was The Benchmark for doing surgery a while ago. But the fact is my life has been very much compromised I can't stand for more than maybe 3 minutes and I can't walk more than two blocks without my shins starting to hurt. So I have to just like you said take a deep breath.
