Today’s note is an important reminder to stop taking all anti-inflammatory medications (like Aleve, Ibuprofen, Naproxen), GLP medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, Trulicity, Bydureon, Mounjaro, Byetta, Victoza), vitamins, fish oil, and other natural supplements as of today, unless otherwise directed by your surgeon.

If your provider supplied you with an order to obtain a brace and/or cold compression device, please reach out to the scheduling department to make an appointment with the phone number below if you have not already done so. You will not be able to receive these items on the day of surgery.

Please also arrange for an adult friend, family member or caregiver to stay during your procedure. You will need someone to drive you home and be available to help care for you during the first 24 hours after discharge.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this step, please call your care team at:
