How long before my operation do I need to stop eating and drinking?


Normally you will be advised to stop eating and drinking eight hours before your procedure. In some circumstances this may change but you should seek confirmation from your team and anaesthetist. It is very important that you follow the advice of your team as any problem may cause your procedure to be cancelled for your safety.
