Is coffee okay before getting ready for surgery?

March 10, 2015
Asked By:colom21 in Houston, TX

I am doing tummy tuck and full body liposuction in july, after my last pregnancy (5months) I started drinking coffee, and now I can't stop taking a cup a day. I didn't drink coffee as much before last pregnancy, but now is a must everyday one cup only. Should I stop taking coffee before surgery? could it cause anything strange during surgery? does it matter if decaf or regular? should I just change for tea instead? I just want to be healthy and not mess anything up by taking it. Thanks so much!
