Patient FAQs
What Medications Can I Take the Morning of Surgery?
Patients are encouraged to take all essential medications the morning of surgery with a small sip of water. However, certain medications should be held or discontinued 5-7 days prior to surgery. Please contact the surgery center if you are currently taking any blood thinners, diet pills/injections and/or diabetic medications as these medications may require additional instruction.
What Type of Anesthesia Will Be Administered?
The anesthesiologist will determine how you will go to sleep either by breathing through a mask or getting medicine through an IV. The anesthesiologist will review the type of anesthesia to be used with you on the morning of surgery.
Can I Go Back In the OR While My Child Is Being Put Under Anesthesia?
No. It is against our policy to have anyone besides trained staff and the patient go in the sterile environment.
How Many People Are Allowed with Me at the Surgery Center?
Please limit the number of people with you to two. Children other than the patient should not be brought to the surgery center.
When Can I Eat After Surgery?
Immediately after surgery we provide liquids. Most patients can eat as soon as they leave the center. We recommend starting off with bland food and then advancing as tolerated. For tonsillectomies, we recommend soft diet for two weeks. Additional instructions regarding diet will be provided on the day of surgery.
Will My Transportation Need To Stay in the Waiting Room the Entire Time I’m in Surgery?
They may wait in their car if they prefer, but typically we want patients’ rides to remain at surgery center. If surgery is scheduled for more than three hours, they may leave and come back.
Can I Have a Taxi or Rideshare Drive Me and Pick Me Up from Surgery?
No. Patients are required to be discharged in the care of a responsible adult that will be available to care for them after surgery. They can take an uber or taxi as long as they have a caretaker with them (not the uber driver)
When Can I swim After Getting Ear Tubes?
Ears should be kept dry for the first week following surgery. Bathing and showering are allowed. Avoid submerging ears in pools or swimming in beach, lake or river until follow up appointment.
