• Preoperative visit. This visit will include counseling, a medical history review, an exam (possible ultrasound and pelvic exam) and possible blood testing. The doctor will also review preoperative instructions (including arrival time for procedures), and consent forms will need to be signed. Patients should plan 1 to 1.5 hours for this visit. A support person is welcome. Before a preoperative visit, patients may need to have a separate ultrasound visit.
• Operative visit. Generally, the operative procedure will be the next day. Patients must not eat or drink for at least 8 hours before the procedure time, usually not after midnight the night before. Since patients will be affected by the anesthesia for the rest of the day after the procedure, they must have a ride home with someone who is at least 18 years old. They should plan to spend 5 to 6 hours at the hospital this day.
• Contraceptive visit. At this visit, we will review the patients’ medical history, counsel them on options for contraception, help them select a method that is right for them, and start that method. To prevent a concern for possible pregnancy at this visit, patients should not have unprotected sex for 15 days before the appointment date. Patients can do this by using condoms 100% of the time or by not having sex during the 15 days before the appointment.
