Guidelines For A Successful Vein Procedure

Following Proper Pre-Op Instructions Will Set You Up For  a Successful Vein Procedure

Our doctors have created this helpful list of do's and don'ts for the days leading up to your procedure.

Use this as a general guide, but reach out to your specialist if questions or concerns arise.

• If taking Xanax be sure to arrange for a ride to and from procedure. 
  
• Take Xanax first pill one hour before procedure and second pill upon arrival. 
• Shower before your visit, as you will likely not shower for two days following the procedure. 
  
• Do not use moisturizers or lotions on your legs on the day of treatment. 
  
• Try to avoid Aspirin-like products (Motrin, Advil, Aleve) for 7 days prior to surgery unless otherwise advised by our office. Tylenol may be used if necessary. 
  
• Make sure to let the doctor know if you are on blood thinner medication. 
  
• Wear loose fitting clothing and easily removeable shoes. 
  
• Bring your compression stockings with you. 
  
• Be sure to eat breakfast and drink lots of water. 
  
• No caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea, soda pop, etc) on the day of surgery. 
  
• Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. 
  
• Stay standing/walking until we call you back to the procedure room.
