Enjoy a light dinner. Avoid alcohol.
A nurse from the surgery center will have called you prior to surgery to discuss:
1. When to stop eating or drinking anything
2. Which medications to take the morning of surgery
3. What time you should plan to arrive at the center
You will get a call from your anesthesiologist to discuss your anesthesia care plan.
You may brush your teeth and rinse your mouth the morning of surgery.
Make sure to bring a photo ID, an insurance card, and a form of payment for any co-pay.
Do NOT apply lotions, perfumes, or powders.
Do NOT wear jewelry to the surgery center. If your wedding band cannot be removed, it can be taped to your finger at the center. It is best to leave all jewelry at home.
Dentures, partial plates, and contact lenses will need to be removed prior to entering the operating room. It is best to avoid wearing these items to the center on the morning of your surgery, and instead pack them in your overnight bag if you would like to wear them during your overnight stay.
