What Should I Bring With Me to the Surgery Center?

- A valid ID and insurance card.
- Comfortable clothing, such as loose-fitting clothes that are easy to remove.
- A list of your current medications.
- Any pre-surgery instructions provided by your surgeon.

How Soon Can I Go Home After My Procedure?
Most procedures at Roller Surgery Center are outpatient, meaning you can return home the same day. After your surgery, you’ll spend some time in the recovery room for monitoring. Once you’re cleared to go home, usually within an hour or two, you can leave.
Will I Be Able to Drive Myself Home After My Surgery?
No, you will not be allowed to drive yourself home after your surgery. You must arrange for someone to drive you, as anesthesia or sedation may impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely. Please ensure you have a trusted driver with you on the day of your surgery.

Our team will provide detailed post-surgery instructions and is available to answer any questions or concerns that arise after your procedure. If you have any issues or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Bariatric Surgery FAQs
What is the Recovery Time for Bariatric Surgery?
The recovery time for bariatric surgery varies depending on the type of surgery performed. Typically, patients can return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks. However, you may be advised to gradually increase physical activity over several weeks and follow a diet plan to ensure optimal healing and weight loss results.
Are There Any Special Diet Requirements After Bariatric Surgery?
Yes, after bariatric surgery, you must follow a specific diet to ensure proper healing and maximize weight loss. Initially, you’ll be on a liquid diet, which will gradually transition to soft foods and then solid foods. Your surgeon and dietitian will provide detailed guidelines.
Will I Need Follow-Up Care After Bariatric Surgery?
Yes, follow-up care is critical after bariatric surgery to ensure you lose weight safely and meet your nutritional needs. You will have follow-ups with your surgeon and a nutritionist to monitor your progress, address any complications, and adjust your diet as needed.
General Surgery FAQs
How Long is the Recovery After Hernia Surgery?
The recovery time for hernia surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Depending on the extent of the surgery, full recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks.
Do I Need to Follow Any Special Instructions Before General Surgery?
Yes, depending on the type of surgery, you will need to follow specific instructions, such as fasting before the procedure, stopping certain medications, and arranging transportation home after the surgery. Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions during the appointment.
What Are the Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for General Procedures?
Laparoscopic surgery involves making smaller incisions, which can lead to less pain, faster recovery, and reduced scarring compared to traditional open surgery. It also typically results a quicker return to normal activities.
Plastic Surgery FAQs
How Long is the Recovery After Plastic Surgery?
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. For example, after a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, you may need 2 to 4 weeks for initial recovery and several months to see the final results. More invasive procedures, like facelifts, may require longer recovery periods. Your surgeon will provide personalized instructions for your recovery plan.
Can I Combine Different Plastic Surgery Procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine multiple procedures, such as a tummy tuck with liposuction or breast augmentation, for a more comprehensive transformation. Combining surgical procedures can reduce recovery time and cost, but your surgeon will evaluate whether you’re a good candidate for multiple surgeries at once.
Is Plastic Surgery Covered by Insurance?
In general, cosmetic plastic surgery is not covered by insurance. However, reconstructive surgery, such as breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, may be covered. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to discuss your situation and verify coverage details.
