THE DAY OF SURGERY
Eating / drinking prior to surgery
Typically you must avoid any food, including drinks containing milk, sugar and the like for at least 6 hours prior to surgery. You can usually drink water up to 2 hours before your procedure.
Your Anaesthetic
You will meet your anaesthetist on the day you come to hospital. They will discuss your anaesthetic options with you. If you have particular concerns about your anaesthetic, please let us know so and we can make the necessary arrangements as these can be discussed with the anaesthetist prior to your day of surgery.
