How early do I need to be at the operating suite before surgery?

Most doctors recommend that you are at the operating suite one and a half hours before surgery. Although this seems early, it is necessary to get the best result for you. Often you surgeon will prescribe medicines before surgery that make you feel comfortable during surgery. If you do not have these medicines on time, they are not as effective. If you need special tests, it often takes an hour for results to return. If you do not arrive at the recommended time, for your own safety, your doctor may cancel or postpone your surgery.
