In the recovery room, you will be under close observation by the recovery room nurses. We encourage all of our physicians to talk to a family member/friend upon completion of your procedure and it is, therefore, important for this person to remain in the building.
Your physician will provide post-procedure instructions and the Center will provide a written summary of these instructions.
If you had any anesthesia/pain medication, avoid the following for 24 hours:
- Driving, operating vehicles/equipment/machinery
- Signing important papers
- Making important decisions
- Drinking alcoholic beverages
Should you experience any unexpected complications or concerns, contact your physician or his/her designee. If you experience an emergency, call 911.
