I love nothing more than being (overly) prepared. But when it comes to surgery, you might only have a few procedures over your entire life.

Regardless of your surgical experience, your doctor (hopefully) has way more - which can sometimes put you at a disadvantage when you’re not sure what to even ask.

Many of the clients I work with have had surgery - whether they are building up strength to prepare or are looking to rebuild strength post-surgery. So when one of the Mavens shared her experience with surgery and how overwhelmed being “underprepared” felt, I knew an episode was in order.

If you’re thinking about surgery or taking care of someone who will - today’s episode is for you!

You’ll learn:

• How to prepare for your next surgery, from questions to ask your doctor to supplies to have at home
• Post-surgery recovery tips
• And how to make the most out of PT once you’re healed
