- DO
NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING AFTER 12 MIDNIGHT
the night before surgery- no midnight snacks, no
breakfast, not even a sip of water.
Eating or drinking after midnight could
result in a cancellation of your surgery.
- (For
in-patient only) As a preparation for the surgery,
we need you to use a Betadine douche and a Fleet
enema the night before your surgery.
(You can buy these over the counter)
- The
hospital will provide a gown for you, so it is
unnecessary to bring one.
- If
you take any medication on a regular basis such as
insulin, heart or blood pressure pills, or
Dilantin, DO
NOT take them unless you ask your doctor
first. On admission to the Short Stay Center (Day Surgery),
please tell the nurses what medication you have or
have not taken.
- Contact
lenses and/or dentures cannot be worn in the
operating room.
Please remove them and be sure to bring
your container to keep them protected while you
are in surgery.
Also, remove all nail polish, toenail
polish, makeup and jewelry.
- On
the day of surgery, ask at the information desk
for directions to the Short Stay Center (Day
Surgery). If
you will be staying overnight, ask for directions
to the Admitting Office.
- You
must have a responsible adult who is licensed to
drive to take you home after surgery.
Please do not bring children under the age
of 18 with you.
- Please
notify your surgeon and your doctor of any changes
in your physical condition the night before
surgery, such as a cold, sore throat, fever, cough
etc.

you have any questions, do not hesitate to call
the office.
