Recovery After Surgery

---

 

1

Make sure you have a reliable caregiver who is supportive of your surgery. This plays a huge role for a patients recovery both mentally and physically.

2

Plan post op appointments accordingly to guarantee check ups. It is vital to get confirmation from your surgeon that everything is healing properly.

3

Take plenty of time off for your recovery. It is better to ask to go back to work earlier than expected than to be forced to ask for more time off later on.

4

Research and prepare for your surgery by stocking up on light foods, drinks (Propel/Gatorade), pillows for comfort, relaxation clothes. Being prepared beforehand is much more convenient on you and your designated care giver than trying to gather these items as needed post op.

5

Prepare to spend your recovery time relaxing so that you do not become frustrated with post op restrictions. Veg out watch your favorite shows and movies, read your favorite book and listen to your favorite music to occupy your recovery time.
