Or Staff
Day of Surgery:
To help us meet all of your needs please follow
these guidelines:
 Please
arrive promptly for your scheduled surgery.
Late arrival may result in having to
change
your scheduled surgery date or time.
Bathe
or shower prior to your surgery. Remove all eye
makeup and nail polish, if near
your
surgery site. Do not use lotions or oils after
bathing. Depending on the type of
surgery,
you may be asked not to wear makeup.
You
should brush your teeth but remember not to
swallow anything.
Wear
loose comfortable clothing, such as sweat suits
and easy to button shirts or
blouses. Wear comfortable shoes.
If
you are required to wear a gown for your
procedure we will provide a garment bag for
your
clothing.
Leave
all valuables including jewelry or cash at
home. We cannot be responsible for
damaged
or lost belongings.
Bring
all insurance cards to the facility the day of
surgery. Refer to the section on
insurance
and billing in this publication. You may be
required to complete additional
paperwork
on the day of surgery.
Be
prepared to sign a form giving your consent for
the operation. If the patient is 18
years
or under, a parent or legal guardian must
accompany that patient and sign the consent
form.
During
your surgery and recovery, your family will be
asked to wait in the waiting area.
Due
to confidentiality and limited space, visitors
are not permitted in the immediate
recovery
area. They will be able to join you once you
are transported to a private
discharge
room.
Only
two visitors are allowed with the patient before
and after surgery.
We
request that at least one family member/visitor
remain in the building at all times.
For
the comfort of your family members/visitors, a
light sweater or jacket is
recommended.
It
is your responsibility to arrange in advance for
a responsible adult to drive you home
and
remain with you for the first 24 hours after
surgery. You will not be allowed to drive
yourself
home.
