Usually the doctor will schedule an office visit with you about a week
before the surgery to help explain the procedure and go over any
concerns you may have. That's typically called a "pre op" (short for
operative) and you'll also have a "post op" a week or so after your
surgery to check how you're healing and go over the findings when you're
more awake :)
The surgery is really not too bad and you'll just want to be easy on
yourself and give yourself plenty of time to heal. Depending on how
much work they do in there, it can take you more or less time to heal.
But if you do too much too fast you can set yourself back, so take it
easy. I know you'll do fine and you'll be glad to have it over with! :)
