Now I understand every facility will vary, but I was wondering what actually happens prior to surgery. I am scheduled for 7am surgery with instructions to arrive at 5am. I know the obvious two which are to pay the facility and get an IV, but what else goes on? Why two hours early? Will my boyfriend be allowed to stay with me until I am actually brought back to surgery?
