Maybe: It depends on when you are planning to have it. In general, you should not have anything by mouth for at least two hours before an anesthetic. This time frame is usually reserved for small amounts of clear liquids only. Some will make you wait 8 hours. Any doubt, call you GI doc. Hope this helps!
