On the Day of Your Procedure
Before You Arrive at the Surgery Center
Planning your journey to Rebound Surgery Center will minimize your stress on the day of your procedure. Our parking garage can be confusing but exact information can be found down below.
Familiarizing yourself with the information below will help to ensure your comfort and safety on the day of your procedure:
- No breakfast or food of any kind, including water, drinks, gum, candy, or mints.
- Bathe or shower on the morning of your procedure to minimize the risk of infection.
- You may brush your teeth and use mouthwash, but do not swallow any water.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing that will fit over a dressing.
- Do not wear any makeup or perfume.
- Leave valuables such as jewelry, wallets, and purses at home.
- Please bring a complete list of any medications you are currently taking, including any over-the-counter medications.
- Bring your insurance ID cards, Medicare card and other applicable insurance information.
- Please print, fill out, and bring with you the Patient Registration Form (PDF) and Patient History Questionnaire (PDF).
- Bring your copayment, deductible, and/or any deposit that has been requested by your account representative. If you have any questions regarding your deposit, please be sure to talk to an account representative prior to the day of surgery to avoid slowing down your check-in process.
When you arrive at the surgery center, our reception staff will help you with any paperwork that you have not already completed. Please tell our receptionist if you need any special assistance. We will be happy to help you in any way.
- Preregistration can greatly reduce the amount of time needed for check in. Please print, fill out, and bring with you the Patient Registration Form (PDF) and Patient History Questionnaire (PDF).
- If you are accompanying a patient, we request that you stay near the reception area. The surgeon and staff will look for you to discuss postoperative instructions and care.
- Try to relax. You are in experienced hands.
Our clinical staff at Rebound Surgery Center includes highly trained RNs that specialize in outpatient surgery procedures. Your preoperative nurses will escort you to the preoperative area when it is time for your surgery. Be assured, our staff has years of experience, and their priority is your comfort and safety. Let them know if you require any special assistance.
Before your procedure, our staff will:
- Take your vital signs;
- Review your medical history questionnaire;
- Start an IV;
- And complete additional assessments.
Patients receiving anesthesia will also be evaluated by a board-certified anesthesiologist prior to surgery. You will have a chance to ask your anesthesiologist questions in person during your evaluation.
If you are accompanied by an adult family member or friend, they will be allowed to stay with you during a portion of the preoperative procedures. Due to limited space, we ask that you have only one visitor accompany you into the pre-op area. Other friends or family members are welcome to wait in the reception area. It is also recommended that your friend or family member stay in the vicinity of the waiting room during your surgery so that he/she is available to speak with your surgeon.
The same preoperative procedures described above will take place prior to your child’s surgery. This can be a stressful time for children, so we encourage you to bring a favorite toy or blanket to comfort them. Parents will be allowed to stay with their children in the pre-op area until the time of surgery takes place. During the pre-op assessment/check-in process, your surgeon and anesthesia doctor will meet with you to answer any questions.
Important Things to Remember: Children
- Do not allow your child to eat or drink after midnight. This includes water, candy, gum and breath mints.
- Children under 10 years of age should not brush their teeth on the day of surgery.
- For comfort, make sure to bring their favorite stuffed toy or blanket!
- Bring diapers, bottles, sippy cups, and other necessary items from your daily routine.
- Bring any legal documents that may be required if you are a court-appointed guardian.
The most convenient place for you to park for the surgery center is on the 2nd level. This is Level “C” of the garage. The Interventional Procedure Center is located on Level D of the parking garage. Both levels have a sky bridge connected to the northwest corner of the parking garage that will take you directly into the Physicians’ Pavilion. If you enter the Physicians’ Pavilion from a different entry, Rebound Surgery Center is located in Suite 200, one floor above Rebound (located on level 1). The Interventional Procedure Center is located on level 3.
