After your surgery, you will be transferred to the recovery room and monitored closely as your medications wear off.

You will be encouraged to drink fluids and walk as soon as you feel ready.

You may be asked to empty your bladder before you can leave the hospital.

Usually, you will be monitored for approximately two hours and then you will be able to go home.

Non prescription pain medication like acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve) are usually enough for good pain control. Sometimes you will be given a prescription for stronger pain medication.

If you are admitted to hospital overnight for monitoring, you will be discharged in the morning after being assessed by the surgical team.
