With some simple preparation, you can approach your surgery day with confidence. Here’s what you need to know before, during, and after your visit.
Before Your Procedure
- Follow Pre-Op Instructions: Your doctor will provide specific guidelines, such as fasting or avoiding certain medications. Adhering to these is crucial for a successful procedure.
- Arrange Transportation: Since most outpatient procedures involve anesthesia, you’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.
- Prepare Your Home: Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals, adjust your living space for comfort, and ensure you have all prescribed medications on hand.
