I used to wonder the same thing. I usually just ask the place I'm going to directly about any closures and how many days in advance are required. Each place really has different regulations 😅 I highly recommend keeping a list of all the vitamins you're currently taking to show them during your first consultation so you can get clearer advice!

I was completely confused at first too. When I consulted a doctor, they said it's generally safest to stop medication about a week in advance. However, a friend of mine said her hospital requires two weeks in advance, so it's true that each hospital has different requirements. My advice is to directly ask the medical institution you're going to; they'll give you a specific list of medications to stop!

I understand, I'm struggling with the same thing! It's really frustrating when different hospitals have different guidelines. I also want to ask for advice on supplement management before surgery, so everyone's experiences are very helpful.

I'm also very concerned about this! Last time I went for a consultation, they said about 1-2 weeks beforehand is the safest time, but as you said, it varies from place to place, so it's best to call and ask directly to be sure 😊
