• A nurse will bring you to the Pre-Op area and have you change clothes in your private room.
• The nurse will check your heart rate, blood pressure, review your medications and history and start an IV.
• Your anesthesiologist will visit you. Ask questions and be sure you understand all of the instructions you will be given.

Many people involved in your surgery will ask you the same questions such as:

• Your Name
• Allergies
• Last Food or Drink Taken by Mouth
• Description of Your Surgery
• Name of Your Surgery

This is for your safety, so please answer each time.
