Fill out Your Pain Medication Prescriptions in Advance
Because you do not actually need to take these medications until after surgery, it may be easy to forget about them until then. However, because you will likely need prescription medication rather than over-the-counter pain meds, it is a good idea to prepare in advance so that you have the medicine in hand when you need it, and not a day or two after.
Eat and Live Healthy in Advance of Your Surgery
This is a somewhat broad idea, but a necessary one. Healthy habits, even if just for a few weeks before your surgery, put your body in the best shape to handle a surgical procedure. For example, if you quit smoking before surgery, your respiratory system will be cleaner, and more oxygen will be able to get to your wounds, decreasing scarring.
Frequently asked questions
Do Not Tamper with Your Bandages
You will almost certainly be tempted to look at the changes your doctor has made to your body, or even check on your scars. However, it is important to remember that the bandages are there for a reason, and that messing with them may negatively affect the healing process.
Expect Scarring
This may seem like an obvious consideration, but it is still important to be psychologically prepared for the fact that almost every surgery will leave at least some scarring. You may work with your doctor to figure out a procedure and incision that will suppress this aspect of the surgery, but you will still have some sort of mark.
Listen to Your Doctor
Again, this may seem obvious, and hopefully it is. But the fact is, every surgical procedure is different, and every patient has different circumstances.
There are many things that all surgical patients should do to prepare for the recovery process; but there may also be considerations unique to your personal situation, and which you and your doctor must think about together.
