  • Can you eat the day before local anesthesia?

    Yes. The guidelines for solids and liquids are designed for individuals undergoing any type of procedure involving sedation or general anesthesia. If your procedure is being done under strictly local anesthesia (NOT local with sedation), the assumption would be that you could eat even on the day of surgery. However, it is always best to verify with your surgeon. READ MORE

  • Vomiting after sugery

    It is very common to have nausea and vomiting after anesthesia. This is usually the result of narcotics and anesthetic gases that are used. Anti-nausea drugs are routinely given, but they are not always effective. It is possible to eliminate the use of gases at times and minimize narcotics. This can help. Unfortunately, people who have prior episodes of postoperative nausea, people with motion sickness, non-smokers and women all remain at higher risk. READ MORE

  • Do I have to stop taking my vitamins before anesthesia?

    It is perfectly fine to take all of these vitamins on the day of surgery. Just remember to follow the guidelines for eating and drinking. READ MORE
