Pre and Post-Operative Planning Tips
To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, it’s important to plan ahead when traveling for surgery. Below are essential tips to help you prepare for both your procedure and recovery while away from home.
Before Your Surgery
-
Start with a virtual consultation with Dr. Gupta to discuss your goals, determine if you’re a good candidate, and create a customized surgical plan before traveling.
-
We recommend arriving in San Diego at least 1-2 days before surgery to allow time for an in-person pre-op appointment, final evaluations, and to settle into your accommodations.
-
Following surgery, you’ll need a responsible adult to accompany you for the first 24–48 hours. If you’re traveling alone, we can recommend private nursing services for immediate post-op care
After Your Surgery
-
Depending on the procedure, we typically recommend patients remain in the San Diego area for 5–10 days post-surgery to ensure a safe initial healing phase and for your follow-up appointments.
-
Your first follow-up appointment is usually scheduled within 5-7 days after surgery. During this visit, Dr. Gupta will monitor your healing and clear you for travel if appropriate.
-
Choose a hotel or rental with quiet surroundings, easy access (no stairs), and amenities like room service or nearby grocery delivery to make your recovery more comfortable.
-
Dr. Gupta will advise when you are safe to fly or drive long distances based on your healing progress. Most patients can safely return home within 7-10 days after surgery, but this may vary depending on the procedure.
