What do I do the night before surgery?

The first thing is to relax. This will be a difficult time for you and your family. A light meal is appropriate and a good night’s rest is important. Again, after midnight you should not eat or drink anything except to take your morning medications with a sip of water, unless told otherwise. A shower with antibacterial soap is important before you go to bed, and also when you get up before going to the hospital.
