Your surgery – what you need to know

Making your surgery easier and more convenient is a top priority – a seamless experience from “before surgery” preparation to day of surgery as well as after surgery and beyond.  

To help ensure this seamless experience, please review Your Guide for Surgery – your “go to” source of information to help you prepare, stay informed and make sure everything is in order. This guide also helps you understand what to expect every step of the way, reducing stress and helping you feel more in control. It is important you review and follow these guidelines to prevent any possible delays or cancellations.

Your guide offers easy-to-understand instructions and information that you, your family and designated caregiver need know and act on, including:

• Preparing for surgery guidance: pre-registration matters, “before surgery” checklist and other key guidelines.
   
• Day of surgery instructions: “day of” reminders, food and liquid guidelines as well as arrival, check-in and admission information and other valuable instruction.
   
• After surgery information: post-operation information on recovery (both on site and at home), transportation, your designated caregiver, pain relief and other important reminders.
