After the Procedure
After the procedure is done, the doctor may talk to your family in the lobby or wait and talk to you and your family when you are awake in the recovery room.
A family member will be allowed in the recovery room to assist you in dressing and to receive your verbal and written discharge instructions.
You cannot drive or operate heavy equipment for 24 hours after your procedure due to the anesthesia medicine you received for your procedure.
You should not sign any legal documents or make any important decisions for 24 hours.
You should not be home alone after the procedure and we recommend that you have someone to remain with you.
