Ask-a-Doc:
What Should I Bring With Me on My Surgery Day?

Hello, I’m Dr. Michael Morris. 

We really don’t want you to bring too much. We certainly don’t want you to bring a bunch of valuables.

But bringing an identification card is very important. Your driver’s license or photo ID, along with your insurance card—those will be very helpful. 

I would recommend keeping the valuables at home. You should also bring a loved one or a friend with you, especially if you’re going home the same day, to be able to drive you.
