Preparing For Recovery
Preparing For Recovery
If your surgeon performs surgeries towards the end of the week, you should try to schedule your procedure closer to the weekend so you can have extra recovery time before returning to your normal activities.
Fill your prescriptions several days before surgery.
Arrange well in advance, 3-4 weeks for your aftercare help whether it be in your home, hotel or a facility.
Arrange transportation for the day of surgery and for follow-up appointments in advance. Patients are urged not to drive on the day of surgery or while taking pain medication.
Good nutrition is essential for a speedy recovery. Increase your protein, go organic and add supplements to aid in healing. Hydrate. You may be advised to discontinue some of the supplements prior to surgery.
Purchase any garments or special pillows in advance.
Stock your refrigerator with healthy easily digestible food.
Shop for the items your surgeon recommends the week prior to surgery.
You may become swollen or bruised from the procedure, talk to your surgeon about taking Arnica and Bromelain before and after surgery.
Post-operative recovery from surgery requires significant rest and inactivity. Our team at After, After Care will assist you with shopping, transportation, appointment setting and your post-op care.
