Your doctor knows best, and 'normally' isn't always.
The evening before, a light meal is recommended to preoperative patients, with no alcohol taken for a full day before surgery. Nothing is to be taken by mouth after midnight of the day preceding surgery.
AM means before Noon. PM means after Noon.That is correct but the abbreviation stands for "Post Meridiem" for the period between noon and midnight and AM stands for "Ante Meridiem" for the period between between midnight and noon.I have always just thought of it as AM for after midnight and PM for pre midnight. Not correct but gets the meaning accross ;)You might have thought that:AM = After MidnightPM = Past MidnightThat would not make sense because it is a synonym.
the 5 hours before midnight are the 5 hours before midnight
.Such routine preoperative preparations, as not eating or drinking after midnight on the night before surgery are typically ordered for a segmentectomy.
It depends on where the surgery will occur.....

Well before surgery (at least 2 weeks), you should discuss this question with your doctor. He/she will go through your list of medication and tell you what to take and what to put on hold. In any case, all medication that increases bleeding, such as aspirine (though more and more surgeons no longer stop this) and marcumar, are stopped 10 days before surgery. Some drugs for diabetes are also put on hold. It also depends on the kind of surgery you are having, and on the reason you are taking the drugs in the first place. You should always discuss this matter with your physician at least 2 weeks before surgery.
