• An appointment for the examination. • An empty stomach. You must be fasting for 6 hours prior. No food or drink. • A driver to take you home since you will not be able to drive until the following morning. We ask that your driver come with you and plan to stay the entire time you are here which averages about 1 1/2 hours. This is about 2 hours less than the average length of stay at the hospital outpatient surgery department. For more information, check out this link on our website.

No food or drink. • A driver to take you home since you will not be able to drive until the following morning. We ask that your driver come with you and plan to stay the entire time you are here which averages about 2 hours. This is about 1 to 2 hours less than the average length of stay at the hospital outpatient surgery department.
