At home after surgery

Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for care while recovering at home. In the event of any difficulty, please call your surgeon.

For the first 24 hours following surgery, do not:

• Engage in strenuous activities
• Drink any alcoholic beverages
• Drive
• Make any critical decisions

A nurse from the Surgery Center will call you within a day or two to evaluate how you are recovering at home.

You will be asked to complete a questionnaire about the care you received. Your comments will enable us to continue to improve our services.
