This checklist will help you prepare for your surgery. Check off each
item to avoid cancellation or unnecessary delays.
Do not eat or drink anything, including water, after midnight the night before your
admission. Consult your physician regarding medications.
Take a complete bath or shower and shampoo your hair. Do not wear makeup or nail
polish on your fingers or toes.
Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing, such as a jogging suit, and bring
slippers.
Leave all jewelry and valuables at home.
Please be on time for your Home Tonight admission.
Park in the garage and go to the main lobby of the Hospital. Then follow the signs to
Home Tonight.
Make arrangements for a responsible adult to drive you home. Even if you take a taxi,
you must arrange for a companion to ride with you. Patient discharge will be
approximately two hours after surgery.
We advise that you make arrangements for someone to stay with you at home following
surgery.
