At the Hospital
Arrive at the hospital two hours before your scheduled surgery, unless otherwise instructed by the Endoscopy staff or your physician.
Free parking is available in the surface lot in front of the hospital.
Enter at Cary Hospital’s Main Entrance and check-in at the Information Desk. You will receive a number that is called when Patient Registration is ready to register you. After verifying that all of your insurance and demographic information is correct, Patient Registration will place an armband on your wrist. You will then be directed to the Advanced Gastrointestinal Center Reception Area.
Advanced Gastrointestinal Center
In order to communicate about the patient’s progress and when the procedure is finished, our unit secretary will obtain a mobile phone number from the visitor who accompanies the patient. We ask that children not be left unattended in the lobby.
Pre-Operation Preparation
After registering, you will be brought back to the Advanced Gastrointestinal Center for pre-op preparation. This process will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Your family will wait in the lobby during this time. Once prepped, you will be allowed two visitors in the pre-op area.
Quality Assurance

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the utmost safety for our patients, you may be asked the same questions by more than one caregiver. Staff responsible for your care will verify who you are, what kind of procedure you are having. Staff will also double-check what you tell them against the documents from your physician’s office. While it might seem redundant, it is an important part of our quality assurance (safety) process.
Prior to surgery, your physician will meet with you in the pre-op area to discuss your plan of care. You will sign a consent for the procedure on the day of exam.
Just before the procedure begins the entire Endoscopy team will take a “time out.” During this time out, the team assures that they are performing the correct procedure on the correct patient.
After Procedure
Following the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery area where you will be monitored until you are awake and able to drink fluids. Your physician will discuss the procedure with you and your responsible person. You will also be given complete verbal and written instructions for discharge at this time.
