The Day Before Surgery

Call​ the Hospital

You will be asked to call the hospital on a certain day to find out what time to be there for your surgery.  You usually need to be at the hospital 2 to 3 hours before surgery.

  • Write down the time to be at the hospital and where to go when you get there. (If you have the Guide to Bowel Surgery booklet, you can write these things on page 12.)
 

Bowel Preparation

If your surgeon wants you to do a bowel preparation, your PAC nurse will let you know. ​
