Patient guide
Before Your Procedure
General preparation guidance for BienPoMD patients. Your personal written instructions always take priority.
This guide is general. Do not use it to override instructions from Dr. Bien, your anesthesiologist, or the doctor who prescribes your medicines.
Disclose Your Medical History
Tell the clinic about allergies, previous anesthesia reactions, bleeding problems, heart, lung, kidney, or other conditions, and all medicines or supplements you take.
Review Medicines and Supplements
You may be advised to stop aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, garlic, ginkgo, and other blood-thinning supplements about two weeks before. Never stop prescribed medicine without clearance from the prescribing doctor.
Follow Your Fasting Instruction
Awake minor procedures may not require fasting and usually allow a light meal. Sedation or anesthesia requires a specific fasting plan. Follow the instruction written for you.
Discuss GLP-1 Medicines Early
If you use semaglutide, tirzepatide, or another GLP-1 medicine, inform the clinic and your prescribing doctor. The timing of any hold and fasting plan must be individualized.
Avoid Alcohol
Do not drink alcohol before your procedure. Follow the clinic’s stated preparation window.
Prepare Your Skin
Come without makeup, skin care, sunscreen, perfume, and—in relevant procedures—deodorant, unless the clinic tells you otherwise.
Leave Valuables at Home
Remove jewelry, watches, piercings, and other valuables before coming to the clinic.
Wear Practical Clothing
Choose loose, comfortable clothing that opens in front when possible. Bring clean socks.
Arrange Support and Transport
Follow the clinic’s instruction about a companion and driving restrictions, especially when sedation or a larger procedure is planned.
Arrive Early
For a scheduled procedure, arrive approximately 30 minutes before your appointment unless a different time is given.
Ask Before Changing the Plan
If you become ill, start a new medicine, or have an unexpected health concern, contact the clinic before coming.
Preparation Questions Should Be Clarified Before Procedure Day.
Meet Dr. Bien in person, discuss what concerns you, and receive an honest assessment of what may—or may not—be appropriate.
