If you’re planning to have surgery, you’ll want to spend some time preparing. That means taking care of your health, learning as much as you can about the procedure and getting to know the people who will be taking care of you. Planning ahead can help ensure you have a successful procedure and heal faster with a smooth recovery.

Planning ahead can help ensure you have a successful procedure and heal faster with a smooth recovery.

There are several steps you should take before your surgery so you’ll feel as relaxed and confident as possible.

  1. Bring all of your current medications to orientation for review.
  2. Consult your physician for special instructions if you are taking routine medications, insulin, or blood thinners.
  3. Do not eat or drink anything for at least eight hours before your scheduled surgery. Do not chew gum or use any tobacco products.
  4. Shower or bathe to minimize the chance of infection and wear loose, comfortable clothing. 
  5. Leave jewelry and other valuables at home.
  6. Take out removable teeth prior to transfer to the operating room and do not wear glasses or contact lenses in the OR.
  7. If you are a Same Day Surgery patient, arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and to provide care for at least 24 hours.
  8. If you are a smoker, we recommend that you stop smoking at least two weeks prior to your surgery
  9. If you have had any problems with anesthetics in the past, please discuss this with your surgeon so that your anesthesia provider is aware of this prior to your procedure.
  10. If you are currently using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, please bring the machine with you the day of surgery.

Thank you for following these instructions. If there are any details of your surgery that you are concerned about, please contact your surgeon prior to your date of surgery
