Procedures may vary, but some main items to remember are: Stop any anti-inflammatory medicine, or medications containing aspirin 5 to 7 days before your surgery. Have someone who can drive you home accompany you to your surgery. Stop smoking at least 24 hours before your surgery (preferably longer). Bring a list with you of your medications, including the dosage, and what time of the day you take them. At around midnight you should stop eating and start only having sips of water as needed.
