    He did pick any one item but wanted me to stop anything that I was taking including vitamins, etc but I think it is just to be cautious. I was curious if anyone else had this experience.

    I don't understand, you should have filled out a questionaire with all that information which is looked at by all concerned so they can tell you specifically what to avoid. TRT is not a supplement rather a medication for a medical condition.

    i agree- trt is now beneficial as it will help you to recover- without it now you willbe at low levels preventing you from recovering properly , my guess is the anaesthesiologist knows nil about trt. he is blanketing everything as a general ass covering excersise.

    i would go ask your prescribing dr about this to be safe, but in my opinion- keep on the healing and health promoting trt..going off will do you more harm than good.

    It's a standard procedure before any surgery. The main reason is that surgeons are trying to prevent any disruption of your body's clotting ability, something that many medications and vitamins do.

    Anything that thins the blood or has any effect on clotting is supposed to be ditched, usually for a week or two prior to surgery. The last thing any surgeon wants is for you to bleed out on his operating table.

    There is also a risk for interaction with the anesthesia. The drugs they use to sedate and anesthetize you are extremely powerful, so they can't take any chances. Bad reactions to these drugs are common enough, so they don't want you to be at an increased risk due to something that they have no control over.

    During many surgical procedures the patient is sedated, their respiratory drive is knocked out, and they are intubated. The only reason you're still breathing is because they say so. It's "routine" in the sense that they've done it many times before, but it's a remarkably risky thing to do if you really think about it.
