You may also experience some drowsiness or dizziness depending on the type of anesthesia you receive, or on the amount of pain medication you are taking at home.<\/li><li>Follow your physician\u2019s instructions regarding diet, rest, and medication.<\/li><li>Do not drive, operate heavy machinery or power tools, cook, drink alcoholic beverages, make legal decisions, or take any medications not prescribed by your physician for at least 24 hours after your surgery.<\/li><li>Contact your physician if you feel you are having problems after discharge. If you cannot contact your doctor but feel your concerns warrant a doctor\u2019s attention, call or go to the emergency room closest to you.<\/li><li>It is very important to remember \u2013 you must have a responsible adult drive you home after the procedure.<\/li><\/ul><p>The day after surgery, a member of the surgery center staff will call to see how you are doing. If your surgery is on a Friday, you will be contacted on Monday. Or, you may contact us during business hours. We would love to receive your feedback on our services at this time as well. Please let us know about the care you received.<\/p><h2>Patient Satisfaction Survey<\/h2><p>A copy of our Patient Satisfaction Survey will be mailed to you.
