The Day of Surgery

  • Please bathe or shower the morning of your surgery, but do not use lotions or oils after bathing. You may brush your teeth, remembering not to swallow anything.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is big enough to accommodate a large bandage after surgery. Also wear comfortable shoes, not sandals or high heels.

  • All jewelry including piercings need to be removed.

  • Please leave jewelry, cash and valuables at home. The surgery center cannot be responsible for the security of these items.

  • Bring all your insurance cards with you to the center.

  • You will be asked to sign a form giving your consent for the surgery. If the patient is under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must accompany the patient to the center and sign consent form.

  • Please arrive one hour before your scheduled surgery, unless a surgery center staff members informs you differently.

  • An anesthesiologist will speak with you concerning anesthesia options, if required for your procedure.
