Flax oil and surgery

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

It's been a while since I have posted but I still read them

everyday. I haven't had a big problem with my skin lately. It started

with my eye as the problem. I have been taking flax oil for them and

they have been doing great. My question is I have surgery sceduled

for next week for something totally unrelated but they gave me a list

of things I can't have 1 week prior to my surgery. The list includes

aspirin, I can only have synthetic vitamins and nothing herbal. My

question is if flax oil would be included in that. It probably is but

I have gone without it for 4 days now and my face is itching

intensely and my eye is starting to bother me again. I don't think I

can go without it for the next week. I will call the doctor tomorrow

and ask about it but if anyone know's more information about this

please let me know. The itching is driving me crazy. I didn't realize

how much it was helping until I tried to stop taking it. I know they

don't want me to take aspirin because it thins your blood and also I

can't have vitamin E because it thins your blood I wonder about the

flax oil pills.
