About Lesson

Surgery discharge instructions

On the day of surgery:

    • Nothing to eat or drink after midnight!
    • Take all of your regular meds EXCEPT:
      • any long-acting insulin if you are a diabetic (e.g. Lantus)
      • any of the previously-discussed medications (blood thinners, immunosuppressants, ACE inhibitors, etc…)

If you have a pre-op visit (or call) with anesthesia and they tell you to follow a different plan, please notify us immediately.
