Who this list is for
This checklist is designed for adults heading to a surgery center for outpatient sinus surgery. It focuses on what you need during your short stay at the center and for your immediate discharge. If you are preparing for home recovery, use a different list. This one is strictly for the day of surgery, from check-in to pick-up.
How to use this list
Pack your bag the evening before your sinus surgery. Start with essentials: place your photo ID, insurance card, and surgery appointment confirmation at the top of your bag for easy access during check-in. Add your ENT surgeon’s written instructions, a current medication list, and medication allergy list. If your surgeon approved any medicines for use on surgery day, pack only those. Don’t forget your phone and charger. For personal items, bring an eyeglasses case or hearing aid case if you use them. Choose a button-front shirt, loose sweatpants, and slip-on shoes for comfort and easy changing.
Common mistakes
People often forget their medication allergy list or bring unapproved medications, which can delay surgery. Avoid wearing clothing that pulls over your head or shoes with laces. Don’t bring valuables or large bags—space is limited. Leave home recovery supplies and extra clothing; you won’t need them at the center.
What is on this list
This checklist includes a photo ID, insurance card, surgery appointment confirmation, ENT surgeon instructions, medication and allergy lists, approved surgery-day medicines, phone, phone charger, eyeglasses case, hearing aid case if used, button-front shirt, loose sweatpants, and slip-on shoes. Cross off items you already have ready. Only pack what is required for the surgery center, not for home use.
After the visit
When you leave the surgery center, double-check that you have your phone, charger, ID, and all personal items. Change back into your slip-on shoes and loose clothes if you wore a gown. Keep your ENT surgeon’s instructions and medication lists handy for home recovery. Unpack your bag and set aside any paperwork or items you’ll need for follow-up care.
