Scheduled for my reversal, and the instructions say only to not eat anything after midnight the day before and (obviously) nothing to eat or drink the day of the procedure. My wife is saying I should only have liquids the day before. Should it make a difference one way or the other?

Hey Notaclue, you need more than a clue. Call your doctor and get specific instructions to prep for the procedure. You want to avoid a postponement due to bad prep.
Respectfully,
Mike
