Helpful Hints For A Successful Endoscopy Procedure
- Remember not to eat or drink anything past midnight.
- Take important medications as prescribed with only a sip of water in the early morning. Please check with your doctor regarding the allowable medications.
- We will be asking you to list all of your current medications, and to tell us about your medical history. You may want to make a list of this important information to bring with you.
- It is very important to have someone drive you to The Center and escort you home when finished. *Since we have limited waiting room and parking space, we ask that you are escorted by only one friend or member of your family. Many of our patients feel more comfortable in requesting that their driver and/or loved one returns home or to work until they are finished with their procedure. We will be more than happy to make a call to them at home or at work, to request that you be picked up after your procedure is complete. Remember, you are not allowed to drive after being medicated for this procedure.
- Wear comfortable clothing, and be ready to go home and take a nap after procedure.
- Make arrangements to have family or a friend stay with you for a while after the procedure. You may find that you need assistance in getting up to the bathroom, preparing food, or to make a trip to the drug store to fill a new prescription.
If you have any further questions regarding the preparation for your procedure, please call your physician or the Outpatient Center of Delray or The Outpatient Center of Boynton Beach, Ltd.
