auggie 12 Posted September 24, 2012 So I have pre-op testing in the morning' date=' but I have a question as u know I'm scheduled for surgery the 9th and still haven't been put on any form of liquid diet, does everyone on this form of diet before surgery or all depends on the dr.?[/quote'] I would contact your surgeon. From what I understand, after reading a bunch of different experiences on this site, each surgeon has different requirements regarding pre op diets. I would think that at the very minimum that your surgeon would want you to fast the day before in order to empty your stomach and make your experience with anesthesia better. Good luck!

SkinnyMinnie2Be 255 Posted September 24, 2012 So this cold of mine is actually a sinus infection. Great. Went to a walk in clinic this morning and got an order for doxycycline. It's a ten day course. 10th day being oct 2..my surgery date. So I guess on my final pre op appointment with my surgeon I will be asking him if he wants me to continue to be on it a few days prior to surgery or not. Wish me luck!
