- If it is not necessary and everything is confirmed, your doctor will tell you when you must go to the preoperative study and will confirm the time of admission for the day of your surgery.
- If the surgeon has told you to stop taking any medication a few days before the surgery, such as anticoagulants, please do not forget to follow the exact instructions given by the doctor or you will not be able to have the operation!.
The same goes for any fasting that the doctor indicates, if you do not comply – You will not be able to have the surgery either.

- Remember that your recovery time will vary depending on your age, your physical condition, your lifestyle habits and your attitude!
Keep in mind that your successful recovery also depends on you!
