Let your surgeon know immediately if you experience any change in symptoms before surgery, including mild colds, flu and other illnesses. Even minor illnesses may require a delay of your surgery.
The night before surgery, do not eat solid food or drink any liquids after midnight.
Make arrangements for an adult to drive you home from North Seattle Surgery Center or accompany you in a taxi. It’s also recommended that an adult stay with you for the 24 hours following your surgery.
