Don’t expect yourself to recover quickly after surgery if you don’t prepare yourself for the operation. Preparation is key to a good recovery, and actions before and after the operation is a vital part of it according to the Washington Post. The article has a few suggestions. First is to pick an experienced surgeon and hospital to maximize the success rate since every surgery, big or small, has its risks. Try to gain an understanding of what to expect immediately after your operation. For example, where you might stay in the hospital? what kind of pain you might feel? or how long the recovery process will be? It is also important to note that it is normal to have pain, but don’t try to be tough and not take painkillers when it is prescribed. Finally, walking is important to prevent blood clot, so moving around is usually advised by the doctors. But be careful of stressing the incision with lifting motions if it is on the upper body.
