Tests Prior to and the Day of Surgery:
If your physician orders lab tests to be completed prior to surgery, you will need to arrange for them to be performed at your primary care physician’s office or an outside laboratory approved by your insurance company. Our center does not perform these tests. A pregnancy test will be performed on all women of child bearing age on the day of surgery.
Food:
We recommend drinking plenty of fluids the evening prior to your procedure. Please do not eat or drink, smoke or chew tobacco after midnight the night before your scheduled procedure, this includes candy, mints and gum. Failure to follow these instructions may result in cancellation of your procedure.
Dress:
Please wear comfortable, loose clothing the day of surgery.
Please do not wear nail polish, makeup, lotion, jewelry, watches, or body piercings the day of surgery.
Please do not bring any valuables with you. The surgery center is not responsible for any lost or misplaced items.
Please bathe or shower the night before or the morning of your scheduled procedure.
Transportation:
We require that you make arrangements for a responsible adult to drive to and from the facility on the day of your procedure.
Additional Instructions:
Follow pre-op instructions given by your surgeon located in the surgery packet.
