Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hey guys, I have a quick question. It probably has already been asked, so I appologize in advance. I am about a month out from having upper and lower surgery to correct an underbite. Is there anything I should be doing at this point? I've read a few posts that recommend iron and vitamin C. Is this true, and are there any other preparations that I should be aware of 1 month out? Thanks! -AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, those tests will indicate if you need some special pre op care or not. Perhaps someone else will have a different opinion.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I took lots (1.000mg) of vitamin C before and also started arnica pills a couple of weeks before. (Little white homeopathic pills-- dissolve under your tongue. You can get them at any health food store. Supposed to help with bruising and swelling)Otherwise, just get ice packs ready and check out the zip-n-squeeze website. I posted a note about 3 weeks ago called Recovery Tips for other things that really helped me post op. Good Luck! > Hey guys, > > I have a quick question.
