Will I need to do anything to prepare for the test?If you will be getting general anesthesia, you may need to fast (not eat or drink) for six or more hours before your surgery. You may not even be able to drink water during this period. Ask your health care provider about specific instructions. Also, if you are getting general anesthesia, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home. You may be groggy and confused after you wake up from the procedure.In addition, you should wear loose-fitting clothes. Your abdomen may feel a little sore after the surgery.
