A Staff member from Surgery Center of Naples will call you to confirm your surgery time. The Surgery Center of Naples staff will also call you regarding your financial responsibilities.

Your doctor or the nurse will instruct you as to what time you are to stop eating and drinking prior to surgery. This includes water and chewing gum. Be sure to follow these instructions completely to avoid having your surgery postponed.

If you take medications for any condition, ask your doctor and/or the surgery center’s nurse whether to take it the day of surgery.

For women, if there is any possibility that you are pregnant, please notify your doctors and nurse.

Leave all valuables at home including watches, rings, jewelry and cash. The center is not responsible for lost and damaged items.

Please arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours after your surgery. You will not be allowed to drive yourself home or leave in a taxi by yourself.
