If you have to have foot or ankle surgery, you will have a little time to prepare for what is to come. When you think about going in for the surgery, there are a number of items you will want to take with you. Here is a list of some of those things as well as a few things you will not want to bring.
1. Surgery Information
Your doctor has likely given you a pamphlet of information on your surgery that you might like to bring along with you in case you want to read through the details while you wait to go in for surgery.
2. Your ID and Insurance Card
You will me amazed how many times people will ask you your name, your doctor's name and what your are having done. It's not that they are clueless, but they want to be extra certain that you get the planned procedure. They will ask you for a government issued ID card and your insurance information when you first arrive, so make sure you have both ready to start out.
