At Home 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 physician gives you regarding diet, rest, activities and medication. The surgery center will provide you with a written summary of these instructions. In addition, a member of our staff will call you the day after surgery to see how you are doing.

Dizziness and nausea are normal after receiving anesthetic; therefore, you should wait 24 hours after returning home before:

  • driving or operating equipment
  • signing important papers
  • making significant decisions
  • drinking alcoholic beverages

If you have questions or concerns, please call your surgeon.

Handwashing Awareness Month

The single most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick and to stop the spread of disease-causing germs is to wash your hands often. By frequently washing your hands, you wash away germs that you may have picked up from other people or from contaminated surfaces.
