Patient Instructions Night Before Surgery Question ?

What did you all have to do the night before surgery? My only instruction is to have clear liquids the evening before and nothing after midnight.

  • Just bought my hibicleanse today. Blue?! Really?! Guess that explains why my surgeon said to only use it from neck to knees and not use it on my hair or face. I don't want to look like a smurf!

I was supposed to wash with an antimicrobial soap and not eat or drink anything after midnight.

Yep, me too. Mine let us have a "last big meal" and then just liquids.Nothing after midnight, You can brush your teeth in the morning though.

I am being sleeved tomorrow & starting yesterday evening I Started a bowel prep. It continues this evening as well. Fluids only today then nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Surgery booked for 1130 am! ACK!!????

Best of luck with your surgery. I am scheduled for surgery on the 13th. I start my clear liquid diet in the morning and I'm looking forward to it.

I have a bowel prep the day before with a clear liquid diet that day and nothing after midnight.

My nurse prescribed a Scopolamine patch to apply to the back of my shoulder the night before. It's to help with nausea. Other than that, just liquid diet (specifically as they have listed....nothing else but what's on the list) and nothing to drink 12 hours before surgery. Procedure is 11/16 at noon.

Same as above but also have to do hibicleanse the night before and the morning of. It's some sort of antibacterial rinse. Apparently stains your skin blue :)

My hibicleanse was clear and I had to use it for 3 days pre-op, plus do a liquid diet for 3 weeks prior. It was So worth it... and I had to take Lovenox shots, plus get an IVC filter installed/removed due to blood clot issues prior to surgery.
