The few days before surgery there are sexual showers and medications to put on your belly button to prevent infections. The day before surgery there is a gentle bowel clean out done to be sure the muscle can be fully tightened and to be sure constipation doesn’t make the first few days after surgery uncomfortable. We like the abdomen to be empty for the best and most comfortable results.
On the day of your procedure, you’ll arrive at our surgical center at the assigned time. A member of our team will check you in and help you prepare for your procedure. Patients meet with their surgeon one last time for surgical markings and any final questions. You’ll also meet your nursing team and anesthesiologist.
Our team will expertly care for you during and after your surgery until you’re ready to return home. Some patients will be ready to head home on the day of their procedure while others will spend a night with us under observation.
