I have surgery in the am and something just dawned on me. They told me to stop fish oil and vitamin E Supplements and not to take NSAIDs before surgery but they never said anything about my multivitamin......

Any idea??? I mean all multivitamins have vitamin E in them

Vitamin E acts as a blood thinner. Tell them. The instruments they use cauterize as they cut so blood loss is very little usually, but as someone who had post-op bleeding, tell your surgeon!!
