Surgery today.. I drank 2 swallows of water...
I woke up about 6:30-6:45 and for a second forgot I was having surgery today and took 2 swallows of water ( kind of big ones ) and I wasnt supposed to have anything after midnight... I am wondering if this will mess me up for having surgery today? I dont want to have to reschedule... I have been so sick and in the worst pain! Someone please help!! Should I be worried? Call the dr?
most generally they don't want you to eat or drink anything due to having your stomach empty for surgery but if you drank 2 swallows of water it might not hurt you. the lest you can do is tell your doctor that you did this because you don't want to go in not telling him and have a complication in surgery but i personnally think that it shouldn't hurt you but i am not a doctor so i would ask if i was you.
