I'm glad you are feeling more reassured that you will be able to have the operation and keep breastfeeding. Don't stress out too much about not being able to eat/drink before the op - most of us fast overnight anyway (ie we don't eat or drink from teatime to breakfast. As some-one said, you can get up and have a pre-midnight snack! Women make milk just fine and most women in the world don;t get near as much to eat and drink as we do! Just feed your baby as you normally would around the operation)
