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

@annie1 You'll have to ask your surgical team. They will probably say stop all supplements. Remember, the anesthesiologist is doing some chemistry with the sedation and bringing the patient back out of sedation. I have no idea if supplements could affect that. You'll be fine without them for a few days. I know that is just the nerves talking because you want to be helpful. How else could you use that energy? Perhaps organize what you need for your clothes and laundry and any chores that need doing because you'll need to take a break and just be lazy after the surgery.
