After Surgery
We suggest that you eat lightly for the first 24 hours after your procedure. Be sure to follow any specific post-operative instructions your doctor gives you regarding diet, rest, activities, and medication. The surgery center will provide you with written summary of these instructions. In addition, a member of our staff will call you after surgery to see how you are doing.
Dizziness and nausea are normal after receiving anesthetic; therefore your should wait 24 hours after returning home before:
- Driving or operating equipment
- Signing important papers
- Making significant decisions
- Drinking alcoholic beverages
- Taking any medication not prescribed or acknowledged by your surgeon
If you have any questions or concerns, please call your surgeon.
