Has any one ever been concerned about your surgery being the last one of the day? It sounds and feels ominous. My revision is scheduled for 3pm and I've been told that its the best they could do as more urgent procedures are being performed by the OS that day starting at 7 am- No water or food after midnight .- Seems pretty rough. Any one with this experience -please relate!

Hi
I had my total knee replacement in April last year. My surgery was scheduled for 1730. I was advised that the surgeon preferred to complete quick procedures first.
I was allowed to eat up to 5 hours before the admission time, and 1 hour before admission time was my last drink (water).

@damewocane - Do you have flexibility in your own life? If so, and if it really bothers you, I would consider talking to the surgeon about your concerns and maybe rescheduling.
