Should i take citrate magnesium after my hernia surgery?

May be: It all depends how much constipation will you have. Some people are prone to get constipated from before, and if this is the case you might get benefited from Magnesium citrate or any other laxatives/stool softeners. Its prudent to follow your surgeons suggestion.
