Your family will be able to stay with you until you go to the Operating Room. • When you arrive, please come through the Main Entrance of the hospital. Keep to the right of the Information Desk and you will walk into the Surgery Center waiting area. There is a marble reception desk on the left, across from the windows, where you will sign in. After you sign in, please take a seat. You will be called shortly and taken back to get ready for your surgery. After Your Surgery • You will recover from your procedure in our Post-Op area, also known as the “PACU” or “Recovery Room,” for about one hour. When you are ready to be discharged home, your family member will be called to come sit with you and a nurse will go over your discharge instructions. If you are staying in the hospital, you will go to one of the nursing units after about one hour. In some cases, it may take longer. • A nurse from the Surgery Department will call you the day after your surgery. Please remember that a responsible
person needs to stay with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery. Questions We look forward to making your surgical experience a safe and comfortable one.
