Can I still continue drinking my coffee right up to the night before surgery?

April 2, 2014
Asked By:gotenk in Jersey Mills, PA

I am thinking of getting a face lift done but I have been told I would have to stop drinking my daily 4 cups of coffee two weeks prior to surgery. Is it really that dangerous for me to continue drinking my coffee up to the day before surgery? I really need the coffee to keep me going and it helps reduce my stress.
