If you are going to have IV sedation or full general anesthesia during the surgery, you do not want anything in your stomach for at least 12 hours prior to surgery, and that includes water. Under anesthesia, there is a possibility that you may vomit and aspirate the stomach contents into your lungs. This is a life threatening complication. Always follow your surgeon's instructions regarding food or drink prior to surgery.
