In the days leading up to the procedure, you’ll need to figure out how to travel to and from the hospital, and what you need to carry. Ensure that your family and close friends are aware of what’s happening so they can make time to be with you, where necessary.

Some hospitals will want you to take a pre-operative assessment, which may be done physically or over the phone. They’ll want to know your medical history and health. If the assessment requires you to be at the hospital, it might need screening and blood tests. Ask in advance if these will be necessary so that you can be prepared.
