At Great South Bay Surgical Associates, we understand the need to ensure our patients' questions are answered to their fullest. Below are a few commonly asked, essential questions you might want to consider:
When will I need the surgery?
Making plans for your surgery is an important step towards ensuring you fully understand what to expect. Ask your doctor to explain how time-sensitive the surgery is and how soon you will need to have the procedure.
How long will process take?
Most surgeries take two to three hours, but that time could vary. Typically, this depends on the situation and how invasive it is. Ask if additional time to prepare is necessary and how long you will need to stay in recovery.
What is recovery like?
Ask your surgeon if you should expect any discomfort or pain after the surgery. It’s also common that you might need to limit your amount of activity or take off from work. Knowing if you can get back to your normal routine right away or not will clarify what you need to take care of and prepare for before surgery.
How will I need to prep?
Knowing what you can do before surgery to achieve optimal results can help make the experience run more smoothly. Are there any steps you need to take 24 hours prior to the surgery? Any foods or medications you should avoid? Each surgery and patient is unique, so even if you’ve undergone surgery before, it’s always crucial to ask if you’re unsure.
