After Surgery

You will be discharged to your car by wheelchair. If anesthesia has been administered, you must have a responsible adult present to drive you home and to care for you following surgery.

Your physician will provide post-operative instructions regarding diet, rest, exercise and medications. You will be provided with a written summary of these discharge instructions.

A nurse from Grand Rapids Surgical Suites will attempt to call you the day after your surgery to check on your progress and discuss any questions you may have. If you have any unexpected problems, or questions regarding your surgery, please call the surgeon’s office. If he/she does not respond, please go to the nearest emergency room for evaluation.

Thank you for choosing Grand Rapids Surgical Suites.
