I'm almost positive you always check in the day before surgery at midnight. Regardless of what time your surgery is. Double check of course, but I'm almost positive.

My surgery is scheduled for 11:30 am on June 17th. I am to be at the hospital at 9am that morning.

Check with you Doctor's office and find out for sure when you are to be at the hospital as each will be different.

I am certain your doctor will want you there early for pre-work... no eating or drinking for a number of hours before surgery (to prevent aspiration). Your doctors office will let you know what time to check in.

Thanks, I know I'll find out at my pre op appt on the 9th. Since I live about 5 hours from San Diego, I'm just trying to get things organized the next couple of weeks. I have so much to do on that Monday before I need as much time as I can get.
