In addition to following any pre-op recommendations by Dr. Klym, it’s crucial to avoid eating or drinking for at least six hours before sedation. However, you may have water up to two hours before your appointment.
When you’re sedated, your reflexes are suppressed. If you have food or beverages in your stomach and become nauseous, you’re more likely to face complications during sedation. If you eat or drink before sedation, your procedure will be canceled.
