What are some things to do to avoid post-surgery complications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great Question!: A lot depends on the specific operation; however, in general, eat well, sleep well, avoid tobacco and alcohol, limit pain-medication, try to be active w/o overdoing it, and, most importantly, follow your surgeon's instructions. Remember: common sense goes a long way.
