• You should come to the operation on an empty stomach. Refrain from eating after 9:00 PM the night before the operation and avoid drinking water after midnight.

• Vitamin E: Stop taking it one and a half weeks before the surgery due to its tendency to increase bleeding, as with Aspirin or medications containing Aspirin.
