Preparation, Process, and Recovery
Surgery can be an anxiety-provoking experience, but it doesn’t have to be. In this video, Dr. Todd Harris walks you through exactly what to expect before, during, and after your hernia repair at California Hernia Specialists. From managing medications like blood thinners and aspirin 5 days out to the specific “NPO” (fasting) rules, we ensure you are fully prepared before you even arrive. Learn about our sedation protocols, the typical one-hour surgery timeline, and how we involve family members in the recovery process to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
