It is important to properly prepare for spine surgery in order to ensure a successful operation and recovery. This includes discussing any medications or supplements with your surgeon, arranging for transportation to and from the hospital, and organizing necessary medical equipment for at-home recovery. It is also important to have a support system in place to assist with tasks and provide emotional support during the recovery process. Learn more about how to organize yourself here!

How Can You Help prior to your surgery?

  1. Bring all of your current medications to orientation for review.
  2. Consult your physician for special instructions if you are taking routine medications, insulin, or blood thinners.
  3. Do not eat or drink anything for at least eight hours before your scheduled surgery. Do not chew gum or use any tobacco products.
  4. Shower or bathe to minimize the chance of infection and wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  5. Leave jewelry and other valuables at home.
  6. Take out removable teeth prior to transfer to the operating room and do not wear glasses or contact lenses in the OR.
  7. If you are a Same Day Surgery patient, arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and to provide care for at least 24 hours.
  8. If you are a smoker, we recommend that you stop smoking at least two weeks prior to your surgery
  9. If you have had any problems with anesthetics in the past, please discuss this with your surgeon so that your anesthesia provider is aware of this prior to your procedure.
  10. If you are currently using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, please bring the machine with you the day of surgery.

Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven't won the Lotto I've been playing for so long, I haven't been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada.. I still can't believe it, Indeed there's none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.

I was diagnosed with cancer four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, the symptoms continued to worsen. My strength declined, fatigue increased, and I experienced growing discomfort that affected my daily life. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My energy improved, the discomfort eased, and I felt stronger and more capable in my daily life. Incredibly, I also regained much of my stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with cancer, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

The information in this article is very helpful, especially the tips on how to prepare physically and emotionally for surgery. I will definitely be keeping these in mind as I get ready for my own procedure.
