During your pre-operative appointment we will have covered the information and preparations you will need for your care after surgery. We will have provided you with your prescriptions consistent with your health history and avoiding any medications you have told us about with which you might react unfavorably. We will have covered your dietary needs and restrictions, how to manage discomfort and any swelling anticipated and defined activity allowed. All of these will be discussed with you in depth and we encourage as many questions as you can offer, to that you have clarity of understanding. Since a family member or close friend may be part of support after surgery, they are certainly welcome at your preoperative appointment. Additionally, on the day of your surgery the person to be caring for you after surgery will be given several things. Written postoperative guidelines will be provided with appropriate annotations to fit your particular needs, including a list of your medications and a recommended schedule for taking them. They will experience verbal review and emphasis of all the important aspects of your surgery and how their assistance will enhance your comfort and recovery. They will also receive a bright yellow card with all the contact numbers they or you might need, including the office number and the cell phone numbers of both doctors and the surgical assistant on call. We ask that you contact the office or your doctor when there is any concern for your well-being. We can often be most effective when we alerted to your needs as they begin to express themselves. Just as we always strive for the finest technical outcome for your procedure, we want you to have the most comfortable experience after surgery as possible.
