I think Adelle Davis would recommend zinc before surgery for it's healing properties, and extra Vitamin C and possibly B Vitamins for stress could be helpful. But for healing wounds, I can say that I treated a leg amputation on a duck, and more recently big chunks bitten out of a duck's neck and side by a racoon, with CS and natural Comfrey-Aloe Vera salve, and had no signs of infection at all and wonderful regeneration of muscle and skin. CS is alleged to help the body create new stem cells in the wound to regrow tissue. It surely seemed to work for my ducks.
Internally related to anesthetics, etc, I can't say.

This coming week I will go for day surgery to have a lipoma removed from left forearm (size about 5.5 cm by 3.5 cm) and one from thigh, in size a little larger (and deeper is my estimation). It will be done with local anaesthetic. My question is: is it advisable to perhaps not ingest any CS at least 24 hours prior to surgery, or perhaps even 48 hours. Could it interfere with anaesthetic at all. Are there perhaps any other precautions I should take before going in. This is as far as medical intervention will be, healing afterwards will be mostly home remedies (pain management etc). The removal is only done to help with diagnosis towards possibility of Dercums.
