Important Reminders About Your Surgery
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight before your procedure unless you have received specific instructions otherwise.
- A responsible adult (18 years or older) must drive you home and assist you with care at home, overnight or longer, depending on the type of surgery and anesthesia.
- Before surgery, you may be required to have an EKG, chest X-ray or lab work. Your physician’s office will make these arrangements if necessary.
- Wear casual, loose fitting clothing, such as a warm-up suit, to the Surgery Center.
- You may wear light make-up unless you are having facial or eye surgery.
- Bathe or shower before surgery. You may brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, but do not swallow any water.
- Bring your current insurance card and method of payment.
 Leave jewelry and other valuables at home. The Surgery Center is not responsible for any lost or damaged valuables.
- Bring a favorite stuffed toy or security blanket for your child. You may also bring a pacifier or special bottle, with juice (not milk), for use after surgery. Breast milk is acceptable after surgery.
- Do not wear your contact lenses. If you must wear them, bring your lens case and plan to remove them.
