Awesome news. 
Vets aren't always good at giving out pre and post op information so make sure he eats before he goes in and take some food and hay with him to the vets. When he comes back he'll need to be kept warm (preferably inside) for 24 hours. Watch him careful to make sure he's eating and pooing after the op. And make sure they give you some painkillers to take home with him for a couple for days after. Usually it's metacam or loxicom or something similar.
Good luck. :wave:

They told me not to let him eat anything
If thats the case, i would seriously consider NOT letting this vet neuter your bunny.
A rabbit MUST eat constantly up until they are put under GA as their gut must be constantly working.
Thats great news!
that they told me not to let hiim eat anything? LOl or the general operation? xx

Then I would change your vets immediately if it was the vet and not just the vet reception staff that told you that. That could kill your rabbit - not letting him eat anything.
The might not know anything about rabbit treatment.

Rabbits need to constantly eat... sounds like your vet doesnt know much about rabbits?
He must keep eating! Before and after!

Edited my post.
Its great news that you are getting him neutered.
Bad news that the vet provided that info though, worries me slightly, my babies would not be going anywhere near a mis informed vet.

Did you not read what people have said?
Do you feel comfortable letting a vet surgery 'look after' your bunny and perform an operation if they've recommended the opposite of what a rabbit NEEDS ?
