• Bathe or shower the morning of your surgery. Please avoid using body lotion, makeup or hair spray. If you shampoo your hair be sure that it is dry.
• Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing and shoes.
• Plan to arrive at the time you were instructed to by the pre-op nurse to allow for adequate time admission procedures.
• Bring a storage case for glasses, contact lenses, and/or hearing aid.
• If you take medication on a daily basis, take the medication as directed by the pre-op call nurse. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID with you. You should make arrangements with an adult family member or friend to accompany you to the Center.

When to Arrive
Expect to arrive one to two hours before the procedure is scheduled. On average, most patients are at the Surgery Center for two to four hours. This includes the time preparing for the surgery, surgery, and your recovery from surgery.

Checking In at Meadows Surgery Center
Check in for your procedure at Meadows Surgery Center Reception Desk .

A nurse will then bring you in and while preparing you for your procedure he/she will also explain what to expect during your stay. An anesthesiologist and your surgeon will visit you in the pre-op area before taking you to surgery.
