1. Understand Your Procedure

Knowledge reduces fear. Learn about your surgery: what it treats, how it’s done, and what results to expect. Ask your surgeon questions, read trusted sources, and avoid misinformation online.

2. Manage Your Emotions

It’s normal to feel nervous. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and involve a trusted friend or family member for emotional support. Practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation can also help calm pre-surgery anxiety.

3. Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions Carefully

You’ll be given specific instructions—like fasting before the procedure or stopping certain medications. Following these exactly ensures your safety during surgery and prevents complications.

4. Get Your Body Ready

• Eat healthy in the days leading up to your surgery.

• Stay active if your doctor allows it; even light walking helps circulation.

• Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can interfere with anesthesia and healing.

5. Prepare Your Home for Recovery

Arrange for essentials like medications, comfortable clothing, and easy-to-reach items. If mobility will be limited, adjust your space for safety and convenience.

6. Plan for Support

Have someone to accompany you to the hospital and help you get home after the procedure. It’s also wise to have someone check in on you during the first 24–48 hours post-surgery.

7. Set Realistic Expectations

Recovery takes time. Some symptoms like fatigue or discomfort are normal in the beginning. Listen to your body, follow aftercare instructions, and don’t rush the healing process.

Being mentally and physically prepared for surgery not only eases anxiety but also promotes a smoother, faster recovery. Remember, you’re not alone—your care team is here to support you.
