Don’t eat or drink anything after midnight on the day of your surgery. Your physician may give you specific instructions regarding what you can and can’t eat or drink in the days leading up to your surgery, so be sure to follow them.
Don’t smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol before your surgery. Smoking can cause respiratory and anesthesia complications, and alcohol can affect the outcome of your surgery as a whole.
Don’t take our insulin or diabetic pill the morning of your surgery if you’re diabetic, but do bring it with you and notify the doctor of your condition at check-in.
Do bring any prescription and over-the-counter medications that you take regularly if your surgery requires an overnight stay, and provide a detailed list including frequency, dosage and strength for each.
Do wear comfortable, loose-fitting and easy-to store clothing on the day of your surgery, but don’t bring any jewelry or valuables with you.
Do wear hearing aids on the day of your surgery if you need them for everyday hearing. That way, you’ll be able to hear and understand everything that is said to you prior to your procedure.
Don’t forget to bring a denture cup with you if you wear dentures regularly. All non-permanent dental work must be removed prior to surgery.
Do opt to wear glasses on the day of your surgery instead of contacts if needed. In the event that you’re unable to wear glasses, don’t forget to bring a lens case and solution.
Do wear your hair loose and free of any bobby pins, clips or restrictive hair bands. Also remember to remove and wigs, hairpieces or extensions before surgery.
Don’t wear any makeup, perfume, creams, lotions or deodorants on the day of your procedure.
