After Your Surgery

Once you are in stable condition, you will be discharged. It is normal to experience sleepiness and dizziness for 12 to 24 hours after surgery.

Post Care: You will receive verbal and written post-surgical care instructions (please follow these instructions). If you experience anything unusual after your surgery, please call your surgeon or go to the nearest emergency room. You will receive a postoperative questionnaire the day after your surgery. We ask that you complete this in full.

Transportation: DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE yourself home or use public transportation alone after your procedure. A friend or relative or dedicated caregiver MUST stay with you for 24 hours.
