How can I best prepare my body for healing & recovery after impending back surgery?

How can I best prepare my body for healing & recovery after impending back surgery?

Just rest, that is the best way for recovery

Also don't do exercise and also enjoy family time

Get well and may God bless you^_^

I'm in the same situation. It has been suggested to me that in order to be best prepared for healing after surgery I should be taking a very good multi-vitamin, doing mild stretching or walking exercise daily, and drinking loads and loads of water. My doctor also suggested using a strong antibacterial body wash for at least a week before the surgery and not to wear ANY kind of product at all after my last shower before the surgery. That means powder, lotion, moisturizer, deodorant, not a thing!

Hope this helps a little. There's really only so much we can do ahead of time.

Excellent question.

Eat lightly for a few days before surgery. You'll get opiates for pain and they cause constipation.

Other than that, follow your doctor's instructions exactly, get plenty of sleep, and don't even THINK about smoking.

If you have other medical problems (heart disease, diabetes, asthma) make sure those problems are well controlled before surgery.
