    When you're faced with the possibility of surgery, it's normal to feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation. To help you navigate this experience, let’s break down what happens and how SakeOf is with you every step of the way.

    1. The Decision-Making Process

    Before any surgical procedure, you typically have a consultation with your doctor. This is your opportunity to ask questions, understand the reasons for the surgery, and discuss what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure. Bonus tip: jot down your questions ahead of time to ensure you get all the information you need!

    2. Scheduling Your Surgery

    Once you and your doctor decide that surgery is the best course of action, the next step is scheduling the procedure. Your medical team will provide details on the date, time, and location of your surgery. With SakeOf, you'll have clarity about your expenses, helping you plan financially and easing your mind.

    3. Preparing for Surgery

    In the days leading up to your surgery, you may be given specific instructions, including dietary guidelines or medications to avoid. Follow these directions closely as they will help optimize your health and readiness for the procedure. Remember, preparation is key!

    4. The Day of Surgery

    On the day of your surgery, arrive at the hospital or surgical center early. You'll go through a check-in process where important information is gathered. This is also the time for you to ask any last-minute questions. Knowing you have SakeOf’s support can make this a lot easier!

    5. Recovery After Surgery

    After your surgery, you’ll be moved to a recovery area where health professionals will monitor you until you're ready to go home. Depending on the procedure, your recovery timeline may vary. It's essential to have follow-up appointments to ensure you're healing properly. With SakeOf, you can access straightforward information about recovery care to assist your healing process.
