Reduce both from two weeks out; stop completely in the final days — both affect healing and bleeding.

Aspirin, certain supplements and some medications must be reviewed — tell us everything you take. Never stop prescribed medication without consulting your own doctor.

Sleep well, eat normally, wear a button-up shirt on the day (nothing pulled over the head).

Light breakfast, no coffee, arrive as you are — your coordinator handles the rest.
