Good to know

Before you start

Three things to keep in mind.

Your surgical team comes first

SurgiFuel™ sits beside your surgical team's advice and never replaces it. Follow their instructions exactly, especially on fasting before your operation.

A food supplement

SurgiFuel™ is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not a substitute for a varied diet.

If you are unsure, ask

If you have questions about whether SurgiFuel™ is right for you, check with your surgical team, dietitian or GP before you start.
