Bring your insulin to the center. If you use inhalers or other breathing apparatuses, bring them to the center with you. CLOTHING Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing. If you are having shoulder surgery wear a larger button down top and elastic waist pants and bring a pillow for the car ride home. WHAT TO BRING While you are here, you may need to provide several pieces of documentation and other general information. Please have the following available with you on the day of your surgery. Insurance card Driver’s license or another valid form of identification List of current medications along with the dosages Eyeglasses for reading forms Contact case and solution Hearing aids Diaper bag, bottles, toy, and/or blanket if the patient is a child Medications as requested by the nurse during your preoperative call Leave all other valuables at home. Bring a friend or relative with you so that they can drive you home after the procedure. ARRIVAL Please arrive at the center at the time specified by the nurse. Preoperative time allows for registration, any preoperative testing, preparation, assessment, and adjustments in the surgery schedule. Parking is conveniently located on the south and west sides of the building. Please stop at the reception desk to review and sign your consents. One of our nurses will escort you to your room. Your family and friends may wait for you in the waiting area where there is complimentary coffee, hot tea, and soft drinks. Just for kids: In the waiting area you will find a play center and a TV/DVD player for their pleasure. Kid-friendly DVDs are available at the reception desk, or you may bring your own. Children will need to stay in the lobby during your procedure. Your nurse will check your temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure and will verify your health history information given to the nurse over the phone. Preoperative medications may be given to you at this time. You may be asked to change into a gown. Your anesthesiologist will review your medical history, review your test results (if applicable), do a brief physical exam, and discuss your anesthetic with you. You may choose to have a family member present during your preparation, or your family may join you upon completion of the nursing assessment and testing. Parents will remain with children until the time of surgery. For added comfort, your private room is equipped with a high-definition television. When it is time for surgery, a surgical nurse will take you to the operating suite. The amount of time in surgery depends on your particular procedure. AFTER SURGERY After surgery you will return to your room. The nurses will monitor your recovery and care for you until your condition allows for your family/friends to join you. Your surgeon will talk to your family members on your progress immediately after surgery. DISCHARGE When your condition meets the discharge criteria of your physician and the center, you will be prepared for discharge. Your nurse will review home care instructions with you, and your physician will give you information about your diet, activity, medications, dressing, pain follow-up visits, returning to work, showering or bathing, and lifting. For your safety a family member or friend must drive you home, and we recommend that you have a responsible adult stay with you for the night after your procedure.
