Pre- & Post Care

PRIOR TO YOUR PROCEDURE

A representative from TOP Surgery Centre will call you before your procedure to inform you of the arrival time and instructions for your procedure.
You will receive a full instructions explaining when to come to the surgery center and stop eating and drinking.

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

Please arrive on time so we can help you with all the necessary admission procedures. The admission process includes signing consent forms and providing family/friend contact information. Once complete, you will go into the pre-operative area and will be given a hospital gown to wear. Please remove jewelry, contact lenses, dentures and any prosthesis.

IN THE RECOVERY AREA

Once your procedure has been complete, you’ll be moved to a recovery area where we can monitor you. Typically, patients are discharged within 3-5 hours after surgery. Once you’re fully awake, your family can join you in the recovery area, too. Many people experience some discomfort, drowsiness or dizziness, depending on what type of anesthesia you received.

RECOVERING AT HOME

Before being discharged, you will be given specific instructions on how to care for yourself at home. For the first 24 hours following your procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity, alcoholic beverages, driving and making critical decisions.

The day after your procedure, we will attempt to follow up and ask how recovery is going. If you have any questions of a surgical nature or prescription questions, please contact your surgeon’s office directly.
