Once you are in stable condition, you will be discharged.  Most patients are discharged one to five hours after surgery. 

Post Care
You will receive verbal and written post-surgical care instructions. Please follow these instructions.  Your escort must be available to discuss and sign these instructions before you will be allowed to go home.  If you experience anything unusual after your surgery, please call your surgeon or go to the nearest emergency room.
A nurse from MSC will contact you a few days after your surgery to check on your condition. 

Transportation
DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE yourself home or use public transportation after your procedure.  A friend or relative or dedicated caregiver MUST stay with you for 24 hours.
