The morning of my surgery

• DO NOT eat or drink anything in the morning unless you have been given special instructions stating otherwise.
   
• DO NOT wear jewelry, watches, makeup or nail polish. If you wear contact lenses, please bring a case with you as well as glasses.
   
• DO get a good night’s rest.
   
• DO wear comfortable clothing that you can change easily and that will not bind the site of your surgery.
   
• DO bring slippers.
   
• DO leave valuables and jewelry at home as the ASC is not responsible for lost articles.
   
• DO remember to bring your insurance card, driver’s license and Medicare card (if applicable) with you.
   
• DO arrive one hour before your surgery (unless instructed differently) to complete your admission forms, sign your consent, and to visit with your anesthesiologist.
   
• DO bring a friend or family member to wait for you during surgery. During your recovery, two family members are permitted to visit.
  Persons under 18 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian with them to sign the consent forms.
   
• If you are diabetic, please bring your glucose-monitoring device. If you take insulin, bring it with you.
   
• Your anesthesiologist will discuss your procedure with you, tell you exactly what will happen before, during and after your surgery, and answer any remaining questions you may have.
