The Day Before Your Visit

The night before your surgery, you will need to stop eating after midnight. After 12 AM, you may not have:

• Food
• Drinks of any kind, including clear fluid and water
• Alcohol within 24 hours of your surgery
• Lozenges
• Antacids
• Gum
• Tobacco in any form
• No breastmilk for infants or toddlers

At this time, continue to take any maintenance medications UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED.

You will need to take a shower with antibacterial soap in the evening and again in the morning to help prevent infection.
