What do I need to do before the Hysterectomy?

You may need to have some tests done such as blood work, urine tests, x-rays, ultrasounds and an electrocardiogram (ECG) before your surgery.
You may be prescribed antibiotics or laxatives to take in advance.
Most hospitals will ask you to check with their admitting department to find out what time you should come to the hospital on the day of your operation.
Bathe the night or morning before the operation.
Do not eat or drink (even water) after midnight on the night before the operation.
Your doctor may also have additional instructions for you.
