After surgery

  • You must have a responsible adult with you to drive you home or accompany you if you plan to use a taxi service.
     
  • You will rest in our recovery room under the care of specially trained nurses from one to three hours. You may be sleepy or dizzy after your surgery.
     
  • Nurses and physicians will answer your questions and provide you with detailed instructions. You will receive a written copy of these instructions. Please follow them carefully.
     
  • Have someone plan to stay at home with you through the night.
     
  • DO NOT make any important decisions, drive, or operate machinery for 24-hours after your surgery.
