is it bad donating blood a day before surgery?
Ask your surgeon.
It has a short duration of action and so can be safely given up until a few hours before surgery.
Yes, I am definitely tired and just want to nap throughout the day.
Most arthroscopic procedures today are performed in same-day surgery centers where the patient is admitted just before surgery
In order to empty and cleanse the bowel, the patient may be placed on a low residue diet for several days prior to surgery. A liquid diet may be ordered for at least the day before surgery, with nothing by mouth after midnight.
Notes taken in class the day before
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.
