You can expect a phone call from a nurse in the Pre-Admissions Department several days before your surgery. During the call, the nurse will review your health and medication history. For your safety, tell the nurse about any allergies you have to food, medicine, latex, or anything else. Ask the nurse any questions you may have. During the interview you will get more information about preparing for your surgery. Please tell the Pre-Admission nurse your home phone number, cell phone number, and work number so we can reach you if your surgery time needs to be changed.
