After Your Surgery

Following Your Surgery

After surgery, you will be provided with discharge instructions that include what you can eat and drink, activity restrictions, medication instructions and post-operative care. Of course, if you have any questions regarding your post-operative recovery, you are encouraged to contact your surgeon.

For 24 hours after your surgery, adhere to the following:

  • Have a family member or friend drive you home and stay with you.
  • Do not drive, sign important documents or make critical decisions.
  • Do not operate machinery, power tools or appliances.
  • Do not drink alcoholic beverages.

Communication from Meadows Surgery Center

Please notify us if the telephone number we should use to contact you for follow-up is different from the contact number verified at the time of your admission.

A day or two after your procedure, you will receive a call from one of the Surgery Center’s nurses to check on your progress and answer any questions you may have. If you have not spoken with a nurse by the end of the next business day, please call us at (201) 574-0566.
