Pre-Surgery Instructions

• Nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery (no gum, water, candy, cigarettes).
• No medicines after midnight unless otherwise instructed.
• No fingernail/toenail polish or jewelry.
• Someone must stay with patient the entire time.
• If the patient is under 4 years old, ask them to bring an empty sippy cup and the nurse will put juice in it for the ride home. If it is a baby, tell them to bring a bottle with whatever the baby eats so the child can have something on the way home.
• Someone from our office will call you one to two days before the surgery date and tell you the time the surgery is scheduled.
