I'm a bit nervous about having surgery. What should I know before my operation?

1.  You should make sure to discuss your concerns with the surgeon and ask any questions you may have about the procedure.
2.  You can also research the procedure, its risks and potential complications.
3.  Make sure you understand the recovery process and what activities you should avoid for the first few weeks following surgery.
4.  It’s important to let your doctor know if you are taking any medications or supplements that could interact with anesthesia.
