I am curious if anyone is using supplemental ascorbic acid and zinc for pts having the open procedure. We have one surgeon who is still doing this procedure. I know that adequate protein intake is essential, especially in light of the low calorie intake in the first few months. I have patients take 2 complete MVI daily, but this is only 120 mg ascorbic acid and 30 mg zinc. We have had a few readmits for poor wound healing. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
