What should I eat or drink before surgery?
  • You should eat a well-balanced meal the evening prior to your surgery. A glass of
    alcoholic beverage is allowable.
  • After midnight prior to your surgery you should not consume any food or
    beverage. It is ok to brush your teeth and rinse and to take your pre-approved
    medicines with a sip of water.
  • ANY other intake may cause your case to be delayed or cancelled.
