Joyce - 12/1 dance

[Guest guest]

Joyce,

Yes you more than likely will be spending the night in the hospital. I took

an bag with make up, toothbrush, etc. I could have taken a shower but I

chose to wait to get back to the hotel. They were very nice at DRH. As for

eating, etc. there are preop instructions in the patient manual however you

should receive an e.mail from Barbara or someone in the office a week or so

before surgery reminding you about meds, the wonderful Hibiclens showers, the

MOM, etc. As for eating - a lot of people go out to " celebrate " the night

before surgery but Dr. R really recommends that you eat lightly that day (the

MOM does it's job pretty well) and you should eating nothing after midnight

the night before your surgery. Hope this helps.
