Day of Your Surgery

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to put on and remove. Your clothes will be safely stored during surgery.

Go directly to the admitting desk.

If you are going home after surgery, we require arrangements be made for a responsible adult to accompany you, stay during the surgery, and drive you home from the hospital. Transportation by taxi is only acceptable if a responsible adult other than the driver accompanies you.

If you are being admitted to the hospital as an inpatient, you will be assigned to a room after surgery.
