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). Your escort may join you in the PACU to discuss these instructions with your nursing team, and you will be required to sign these instructions before you will be allowed to go home.
Transportation: DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE yourself home or use public transportation after your procedure. A friend or relative or dedicated caregiver MUST stay with you for 24 hours.
Everyone in the surgery center was courteous, caring, and knowledgeable.”
