My mom is having surgery today nd she drank a cup of lime blossom tea last night, can this prevent her from getting surgery?

May be: Alright. Usually instructions are nothing to eat or drink after midnight before surgery or 8 hours before surgery. She needs to discuss this with her surgeon ; anesthesiologist.
