The Night Before Your Surgery

Preparing for your surgery is very important. To insure your comfort and reduce the risk of complications during your surgery, the night before your surgery we ask that you:

  • DO NOT eat solid food after midnight.
  • DO NOT drink liquids or water after midnight.
  • DO NOT chew gum or eat mints.
  • Reduce or stop smoking.
  • Take medications as instructed.
