Answer

Great question. On a four-day, I might be concerned about your veins shrinking and making it difficult for any diagnostic blood draws or anesthetic via a drip. I can see a twenty-four hour water fast ahead of surgery to get food out of your digestive tract.

Just curious, why DF before surgery instead of after?

I’m interested in what others have to comment. This is a new scenario for me.
