What to expect before & after surgery
Before Surgery
- Lifestyle Interventions - Before scheduling your surgery, we will discuss any lifestyle interventions that may be necessary to reduce your risk of complications as well as improve your surgical outcomes.
- Health History - Once you are scheduled for surgery, one of our nurse educators will call you to complete a detailed health history assessment and to schedule your education session.
- Patient Education - We host group classes about one week before your procedure to present the details about your surgery and outline your process for recovery. While you’re enjoying your catered lunch, we will explain everything you need to know about your procedure, including pre-op instructions, post-operative care, and what to expect during your stay if you are scheduled to stay at one of our surgical suites.
- Prep with the Anesthesiologist - You will also be scheduled for an appointment with an anesthesiologist to discuss your medical history, complete a basic airway assessment, and plan the anesthesia to be used the day of surgery.
After Surgery
- Recovery Time - If you are going home on the same day as your surgery, you will be given the minimal amount of anesthesia necessary to keep you comfortable, yet allow you to easily recover from the anesthetic. Five hours after your surgery, you will be offered assistance by our medical staff to help you out of bed so you can walk.
- Arriving Home - Your support person(s) will be instructed on what to expect after you arrive back home. We will schedule your physical therapy session for the day after your surgery before you leave.
- Rest and Therapy - Rest and therapeutic exercises, along with closely following any other postoperative instructions, are the best ingredients for full recuperation.
