The patient should not drive a vehicle or operate any machinery for 24 hours following the anesthesia experience.
Please wear loose fitting clothing with sleeves which can be rolled up past the elbow, and low-heeled shoes.
Please avoid wearing contact lenses. Jewelry and dentures must be removed at the time of surgery.
Do not wear lipstick, excessive makeup, or nail polish on the day of surgery.
If you have an illness such as a cold, sore throat, stomach or bowel upset, please notify the office.
You can take routine oral medications with a small sip of water. If you take Coumadin (warfarin), please check with Dr. Beck, Dr. Mirabelli, or Dr. Vaitiekaitis prior to your surgical date for instructions.
