đ¨ PLEASE. DONâT IGNORE THIS BEFORE SURGERY.
When your doctor tells you âDONâT EAT for 6 hours before your surgery,â itâs not to punish you. Itâs not an unnecessary hospital rule.
It could save your life.
During surgery, you may not be able to protect your airway the way you normally would. If there is food or liquid in your stomach, it can come back up and enter your lungs.
And that can cause serious complications even death. đ
So if your doctor tells you to fast before surgery, PLEASE LISTEN.
Your hunger will pass.
Your safety comes first. â¤ď¸
