Recovering From Surgery

We know just how important it is to get back on your feet as soon as possible after surgery.

Who doesn’t want to speed up their recovery after surgery? We know most people do; however, there are a lot of habits that could actually impede your recovery. Our Southfield, MI, physician Dr. Antoine Geffrard can provide expert care to those in recovery and rehabilitation following surgery or hospitalization to help make the process smooth and easier.

Always Follow Your Doctor’s Orders

If our Southfield, MI, doctor has told you that you need to stay in bed or avoid certain activities for several weeks, it’s important to follow these rules. We know you may wish to get back to your normal routine immediately after surgery, but not giving your body the ample rest it needs can actually cause more serious issues. If your doctor told you to avoid heavy lifting for several weeks, it’s important to listen. After all, these instructions are meant to help you heal.

Make Sure to See Your Doctor for a Follow-up

It’s also important that you not only schedule but also keep that follow-up appointment to make sure that everything is healing properly. This follow-up appointment may not seem that important, especially if you aren’t experiencing any problems or signs of infection, but it’s important that we see how your healing is progressing and catch any potential problems that you might not have even noticed.

Here at RMS Consultations, Dr. Geffrard and his team are experts in recovery and rehabilitation after surgery and hospitalization. We know what our patients need, and we can tailor each visit and recovery plan to fit your lifestyle, activity level, age, gender and health status. We work with you to find a recovery plan that gets you back to living your life as soon as possible after surgery.

Eat the Proper Foods

It’s important that what you’re putting in your body, particularly as you recover, nourishes and gives you what you need to heal. It’s incredibly important to stay hydrated and to eat a healthy, balanced nutrient and vitamin-rich diet that can prevent complications and make healing even faster. If you have any questions or concerns about your current diet, Dr. Geffrard would be happy to answer any of your questions.
