4. Follow your physician’s instructions about not eating
or drinking before your surgery or procedure. You
may be instructed NOT to eat or drink anything after
midnight the night before surgery and nothing to eat
or drink the morning of your surgery, either. This is
required for anesthesia to be administered safely.
