Preoperative Instructions
This is a basic review sheet on general preoperative information. Your nurse will review specific preoperative information for your surgery at the time of preoperative visit which is typically 2 weeks before your scheduled surgery.
Two weeks before surgery you will need to stop all supplements and certain medications. A list of these medications will be emailed to you separately.
Remember to wear loose comfortable clothes to surgery. Wear a button up top shirt as you don’t want to pull anything over your head.
If you have a headache you may take Tylenol only.

NO drinking alcohol 48 hours prior to surgery.
Do not drink or eat anything after midnight the night before surgery unless directed otherwise by the anesthesiologist.
