I was told the nurse would ring me before my op but hasn’t, to confirm some details… Wat is the address for highgate and wat do I do wen I get there? Admission time is 10am tomorrow morn xxx
You should not eat for 6 hours before and drink later than 2 hours before the surgery.
Once you get there just present an ID at reception, and a girl will take you to your room.
Just google highgate hospital for address… No food or drink 8 hours before admission time, my PC said u could take sips of water upto 2 hours before but I didn’t as she said there’s more chance of being sick afterwards. X
Make sure you don’t have any piercing, jewellery, makeup or deodorant on.
And get slippers and comfy clothing with you.

Ok thanks girls x wen u mean id – like a passport or driving licence, do I need any other paperwork x sorry for sounding so thick getting bit nervous now x
I didn’t show them any ID at all? I wasn’t even told to take any with me. As for drinking up to two hours before you are only allowed water. You’re not even allowed to chew chewing gum after your no food time. Don’t worry too much Hun you’ll be fine xx
I showed them my driving licence, but to be honest they didn’t ask for anything.
But is good to have something to prove your identity.
The nurse told me to bring something just in case.
And yes, water only, and just few sips as Kelbel mentioned.
What I did to forget about thirsty and hunger that morning, I took a nice movie with me on my laptop, so I watch it in the room at the hospital. It will take your mind off for a while…
