Surgery Time? When to stop Opti?

For those of you who have had surgery...when do you usually find out what time you are booked for?  I go in next Friday, (the 14th) and still don't know.

When do you stop the Opti?  Day before?  I know nothing past midnight, I just thought clear fluids would have been a little longer?  Is tis something your surgeon usually lets you know?

I had my last shake at 10pm the night before my surgery.

Thanks for letting me know!

I went through Ottawa and they called me with the time the day before. I had to stop the Opti before midnight the day  before.

I found out my surgery date and surgery time right after I had seen my surgeon. 

I was on opti-fast for 6 weeks and it was a few weeks before that.  My last package of opti-fast

was the evening before surgery, then I was NPO after midnight.  My surgery was booked for

12:30 but things were running ahead of time so I ended up going in around 11:00.

I'm sure you will find out soon, Good Luck on your journey

If you are in Ottawa, you stop Optifast the latest midnight before surgery.  You will receive a booklet about the surgery.  My book was annotated to indicate that I should have up to 2 cups of water the morning before surgery.  I did that before going to the hospital at 6 a.m.  Then I was given some antibiotics while they prepped me for surgery, so I had a few more sips of water to swallow the pills.

It was a real handy booklet as it covered everything.  I read, and reread it.  I received it at PATTS.

Good luck.

from the looks of things everywhere is different? i had my surgery in Hamilton 2 weeks ago and was told to stop apti 2 days before surgery. my surgery was Nov 21,  i had my last shake on the evening of Nov 18,, so clear fluids only on Nov 19 and 20th.. you should ask your surgeon for sure.

Thanks for all your help guys!

My surgeon just called, and I found out my time, along with nothing after midnight the day before surgery!
