On the day of the admission, you will be examined by the resident doctor, who will check all the reports and put them in proper order. The anaesthetist may visit you and prescribe pre operative procedures. You may request for a sedative on the night previous to surgery and ask for bowel cleaning enema if you so desire. On the night before the operation you should take light meal and if the surgery is scheduled for next morning, you should not take any thing orally after 12 midnight.

If your surgery is scheduled for afternoon next day, you may be allowed tea/coffee and light breakfast early in the morning on the day of operation. Some medicines may be required to be taken by mouth on the morning of surgery with few sips of water and some injections may be administered, prior to you being taken to the operation theatre.
