...because that's what i'm sure i was told but just want to check. I have my antacids for 10pm and then the other ones to be taken at 7am before i go to the hospital. It is 6pm to stop eating drinking the day before yes?

Thanks, my brain is mush and i'm forgetting things

Can you ring the hospital a double check.

ProfYaffle · 15/02/2007 18:53

My hospital has told me nothing from midnight, I guess they all have different policies. Personally i would ring and check.
