Depending upon your procedure, your recovery time may vary. You will be given specific discharge instructions from your physician.

- For your comfort and safety, we remind you of the following:
- You need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and be available to care for you for the first 24 hours following your surgery, unless exempt by your physician.
- Take it easy until your physician says you can return to your normal routine.
- It is natural to experience some discomfort in the area of the operation. You may also experience some drowsiness or dizziness depending on the type of anesthesia you receive or amount of pain medication you are taking at home.
- Follow your physician’s instructions regarding diet, rest and medication.
