 My surgeon's office told me to fast as well as not take regularly scheduled vitamins 12 hours prior to having labs drawn.

Yep, same here. Nothing bu****er and no vitamins for 12 hours prior to a big blood draw. Some folks go for longer but my dietitian says 12 hours is plenty and that tracks with Quest and Labcorp's guidelines.
