The night before my surgery

• Please do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery including gum, water, mints or vitamins unless your anesthesiologist has given you special instructions stating otherwise. This is very important for your safety. If you do not do this, your procedure may have to be delayed or rescheduled.
   
• If you are taking medications, your anesthesiologist will give you instructions on what you should do.
   
• If your child is having surgery, your anesthesiologist will discuss special feeding instructions. On the day of surgery, one parent must remain in the center at all times. Please bring diapers and a bottle or sippee cup. Your child may keep a small toy or item with him/her for comfort.
