Discontinue nicotine, tobacco, and alcohol
As of today, please stop all remaining use of nicotine, tobacco, and alcohol products which can interfere with your ability to have a complete and healthy recovery.
In addition, here is some helpful information about what to expect once you arrive for your procedure.
- You will need someone to stay with you and drive you home following your procedure.
- Upon arrival, a receptionist will check you in for your procedure. Please make sure to have your photo ID and insurance card with you for check-in.
- A pre-op nurse will get you settled into a room where you will change into a gown, be given a warm blanket, have your vital signs checked and an IV placed.
- The anesthesia team will meet with you and talk about the different types of anesthesia as well as the risks, complications, and benefits of the anesthesia used.
- Your surgeon and his or her surgical team will also stop in to answer any final questions. Please come with a list of questions if you have them.
Please remember to leave all of your jewelry/valuables at home and make sure that you have your essentials, including medications prescribed by the nurse navigator, your ID and insurance card.
