Pre-OP and
Recovery Staff
After Surgery:
Before
you leave The Surgery Center, you will be given
written instructions for your care
at
home.
After
you have returned home, be sure to follow your
doctor's orders regarding diet, rest
and
medication. It is not unusual to feel a little
sleepy for several hours after your
operation.
Do
not drink alcoholic beverages, drive a vehicle,
sign important papers or perform any
other
activities which require balance, coordination,
or alertness for 24 hours after your
operation.
A
nurse from The Surgery Center will phone you
within 72 hours after your surgery to
see
how you are feeling and answer any questions
that you may have. If we have been unable to reach you within 72 hours, please contact our
facility.
