Find out what you can do to minimize the risk of these factors and learn how your imbalances may be affecting your condition. - Possible Complications – Surgery is a big decision and does not come without the risk of complications. Sometimes the complications are minor, like longer recovery times, but sometimes they can be life threatening or debilitating. Find out what factors lead to complications, how to minimize possible problems and how professionals go about testing you for these complications during surgery. - Returning to a Normal Life – Likely the biggest question on a patient’s mind is “When will I return to normal?” Learn from real case studies, the successes and hardships surgery patients encounter on the road to a normal, healthy life. Making an informed decision is the best way to ensure any success, and mental preparation is at least as important as the surgery itself.
