- Do not drive, operate heavy machinery or power tools, drink alcoholic beverages, make legal decisions, or take any medications not prescribed by your physician for at least 24 hours after your surgery.
- Contact your physician if you experience problems after you leave the center. If you can’t reach your doctor but feel your concerns warrant a doctor’s attention, call or go to the nearest emergency room.
- It is very important to remember – you must have someone drive you home after the procedure and to stay with you for 24 hours after surgery.
The following business day after your surgery, a member of the Lawrence Surgery Center staff will contact you to see how you are doing, or you may contact us during business hours.
