Failure to follow these guidelines could result in the cancellation of your surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adults may have absolutely no solid food after midnight the day prior to surgery.

Also, your surgeon will review your planned surgery, answer any questions you may have and instruct your friend or family member as to where post-surgery discussion will occur. Then the surgical nurse and anesthesia provider will take you to the operating room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What should I do the morning of and bring?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shower or bathe and brush your teeth, but do not apply eye makeup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not bring valuables or money, except payment arranged through our Business Office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to get on and off.
