In the weeks before your surgery, your surgical team and primary care doctor will spend timepreparing you for your upcoming procedure. For example, your primary care doctor may check your general health, and Dr Bhimani may require several tests, such as blood tests and a cardiogram, to help plan your surgery.
There are also many things you can do to prepare. Talk to Dr Bhimani and ask questions. Prepare yourself physically by eating right and exercising. Take steps to manage your first weeks at home by arranging for help and obtaining assistive items, such as a shower bench, handrails, or a long- handled reacher. By planning ahead, you can help ensure a smooth surgery and speedy recovery.
