My surgery scheduler called me today and my surgery for changed from April 19th at 11:30am to 1 pm.  WTH!!!  And not to mention I can't have anything to eat for drink from midnight to after surgery.  This will be one evil woman.  LOL.  Any suggestions to how deal with this.

Oh that's better than I expected you to say...I was expecting you to say it was rescheduled for a week or a month later. 

Just keep your mind preoccupied as best you can.  Reading, cleaning, email, do you have a smart phone with games on it?  Reality is it's frustrating, but it's also only 90 minutes - you've waited this long, another hour & a half will be a piece of cake.  

Good luck with it all!

You will be fine, I had my surgery set for 11 30am and was told to be there for 9am. I got there at 9am, they put me in the pre-op bed and I sat there till about 2 30pm before I was taken to the OR. Food was the last thing on my mind that day.

P.s enjoy your last glass of water before bed.. If I could go back I would chug water before post op you will miss the feeling of chuging water lol

My surgery was at 3:30.  I kept myself busy all day.  I was on here, I read about the surgery, played games, etc.  Just try to stay as busy as you can. 
I have to agree, chug tha****er at midnight.  I was so thursty today and I chuged some water, oh does that hurt.  Didn't come back up, but I sure felt it go down.
It will be worth it in the end!

My surgery didn't end up starting until 6:00 at night. You will survive.

 Heh, mine changed on me literally 1 minute after i pulled into the parking lot with my mom. I was scheduled for 10:00 am. They called at 9:30 (i wanted to be early! lol) and said that they had to postpone to 12:30. Of course couldn't have anything to eat/drink all day but it worked out. At least you learned before you were in the parking lot! 


: ) 

Always gotta have a positive side. 

and for me and my mom, we just went out and looked around at a few shops. Was fun to go play with my mom before the surgery.
