Prep before surgery??

[kimmy86]

Hi everyone

I am due to have my 1st surgery on 29th April :frown: after all I have been reading on here I figured I would have a day or maybe 2 of prep before hand like no solid food laxatives etc I got my paperwork from the hospital today and no mention of any of this at all just says as my anasetic will be before 2pm I am not to eat anything after midnight the night before does anyone know if this is the normal way they do things?

thanks x x

I didn't have to do any prep before my surgery. Just the no food after midnight thing. So I think it works either way, with prep or without prep.

Same as i , no prep except no foods after 8.30pm for me.

same for me no prep just 3 high cal drinks which i didn't take and the usual fasting from midnight. good luck with the surgery

Same as Archie, 3 high calorie drinks the day before, nothing after midnight. I also had to drink an entire bottle of Infacol, and a high carb drink 2 hours before the op, which made me feel sick mic zed with my nerves.

Good luck Kimmy.
