Here are some general guidelines that will help you and your family prepare for your visit to the Grand Island Surgery Center:
- Bring your driver’s license and insurance card(s) with you.
- Do not eat or drink anything 6 hours prior to your surgery (including gum, water, etc.)
- Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes and slip-on shoes.
- Do not wear jewelry, bring money, credit cards or any other valuables with you unless advised to do so.
- Wearing contact lenses is not advised. If you require your lenses in order to complete paperwork, please bring them.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home and spend your recovery night with you, unless otherwise instructed. If transportation is a problem for you, please let us know ahead of time and we will make special arrangements for you.
- If you become ill, even with a minor cold, or take any new medication prior to surgery, notify your doctor immediately.
- Contact your physician prior to taking any aspirin products.
