Preparing for surgery can be a daunting experience, but proper preparation can help ensure a smoother process and recovery. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get ready for your surgical procedure.

Preparing for Surgery

Preoperative Instructions

Follow all preoperative instructions provided by your surgeon. These may include dietary restrictions, medication adjustments, and fasting requirements. Make sure to understand and adhere to these guidelines to avoid any complications on the day of surgery.

Medical Evaluations and Tests

Your surgeon may require several medical evaluations and tests before the surgery. These could include blood tests, imaging studies, and EKGs to ensure you are fit for surgery. Attend all pre-surgical appointments to address any potential health issues.

Discuss Medications and Supplements

Inform your surgeon about all medications and supplements you are taking. Some substances can interfere with anesthesia or increase bleeding risk. Your surgeon may advise you to stop taking certain medications before surgery.

Prepare Your Home

Arrange your home to accommodate your post-surgery needs. Set up a comfortable recovery area with easy access to essentials. Stock up on groceries, medications, and any necessary medical supplies.

Arrange Transportation and Support

You will need someone to drive you home after the surgery and possibly assist you for the first few days. Arrange for a friend or family member to provide transportation and support during your recovery.

Follow Fasting Guidelines

If instructed to fast before surgery, follow the guidelines precisely. Typically, this means no food or drink after midnight on the night before your surgery. Fasting reduces the risk of complications from anesthesia.

Pack a Hospital Bag

Pack a small bag with essentials you might need during your hospital stay. Include items such as comfortable clothing, toiletries, identification, insurance information, and any necessary medical documents.

Understand the Procedure and Risks

Have a thorough discussion with your surgeon about the procedure, including the expected outcomes and potential risks. Understanding what to expect can help alleviate anxiety and ensure you are fully informed.

Post-Surgery Recovery Plan

Discuss your post-surgery recovery plan with your surgeon. Know what activities you can and cannot do, how to manage pain, and signs of potential complications. Follow all postoperative instructions carefully to promote healing.

Stay Informed and Ask Questions

Don’t hesitate to ask your surgeon or healthcare team any questions you may have about the procedure or recovery. Being informed helps you feel more in control and reduces anxiety.

Preparing for Surgery: Conclusion

Proper preparation is key to a successful surgery and smooth recovery. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure that you are physically and mentally ready for your procedure.

One million thank you to doctor Valery Dronskey for performing one excellent Triple hernia surgery at the same time. I was recommended to go to doctor Dronsky by my next door neighbour who had done Robotic bilateral Inguinal hernia by him and he was very happy with his results! I am a 66 years old male. I was diagnosed with left side inguinal hernia 7 years ago by my primary doctor, but when I went to see doctor Dronskey on the first visit he physically diagnosed me with left, and right inguinal hernia and small umbilical hernia. He is a busy doctor and within a month I went for surgery and he repaired for me Triple Hernia in one surgery. Doctor Dronsky may not be perfect but he does perfect work. Now after 4 months of my surgery I feel like 20 years younger and all my pains, suffering, and worries has ended. This doctor cares about his patients and he treats you like family. His office is very nice and clean, his staff are wonderful and when you go for a surgery the hospital is very clean and the staff are amazing. When the nurse took me to the surgery room I felt like a celebrity happy with no fear and everybody in the room tries to make you comfortable. I trust doctor Dronsky’s education, knowledge and experience. He is very smart and a confident surgeon and I wish him best wealth and health. I will recommend him for my family and friends. 5 stars and a moon!

Dr. Dronsky is the best of the best. What I thought was an ER visit for severe back pain turned out to be a weeks stay at the hospital and a gangrenous gallbladder removal surgery. I am a nervous and squeamish patient on a GOOD day so I was a ball of nerves before meeting Dr. Dronsky. His calmness, bedside manner, and obvious expertise put me at ease. Because of the severity of my infection it could have been a very hard recovery, but it really wasn’t. Dr. Dronsky and his team were there for me every step of the way and I am 100% better now. I hope to never need another similar surgery but if I do I will be back to Dr. Dronsky!

Dr. Dronsky brought me back to my former life, something I had missed for 3 years straight. Dr. Dronsky is the only doctor here who took over my health to repair a ventral hernia, an operation that was performed by another doctor in Greece. Because the operation in Greece had gone very badly, a tumor mass was created in the hernia, which worsened my health even more. I went to many hospitals, but no one gave me a solution, except Dr. Dronski with his professionalism made me enjoy full health today. Thank you, Dr. Dronsky, I will be grateful for the rest of my life for the wonderful work you have done. I am lucky that God led me to you. I also thank his team for taking care of my health. I recommend him to anyone looking for a correct and professional doctor.

I met Dr. Dronsky when I ruptured and infected my appendix which ultimately had to be removed. I had been told by the doctors and nurses during my hospital stay that Dr. Dronsky was one of the best (if not THE best) at what he does…and I understand why he is so praised! He is a very smart man who explains every aspect of the process, which I very much appreciated. I’ve had negative experiences where doctors make all the decisions for you but don’t include you in the process. Not Dr. Dronsky. He genuinely cares about his patients and respects you throughout the entire process. I’m very happy I was lucky enough to have him handle my surgery. And the cherry on top is the women in his office who are incredibly kind, helpful and efficient. The entire team could not have made this experience any easier for me. If you ever have the opportunity to have Dr. Dronsky and his team work with you, jump at the chance!

Highly recommend Dr Dronsky, very passionate, and knowledgeable about his work. He explains in detail what is the problem, how to fix the problem and if there is any foreseen situation, he will make the best and most prominent decision on your behalf. Thank you for the courtesy, professionalism and respect!
