Attend your preoperative appointment at EmergeOrtho. This appointment will review your current medications, review your medical history including your history of blood clots or infections, and discuss the plan for surgery and the postoperative course.

Stock up on healthy prepared foods.

Increase your fluid and fiber intake (for example, eating more fruits and vegetables).

Call the office if you have developed any infections, including a cold or the flu, urinary infections, and skin rashes or sores. Any of these problems could cause a surgical complication and may lead to postponement of the procedure.
