- The most important thing your doctors need to know before surgery is what you want to achieve. Make certain that you tell the doctors what it is you do not like and what you want corrected. Never hesitate to ask questions. Make certain they answer your questions before the day of surgery. Just before surgery is not a good time to ask questions. You may be sleepy and it is unlikely you will remember the answers. The plan for surgery needs to be clear before you come to the operating room. Your doctors need to know about your general health and medical history. When you first came to the office, they asked you questions about your medical history. Please tell them of any changes.They need to know if you have any allergies, especially to antibiotics and pain killers. Telling your doctor about any medicines you regularly take is important, especially heart medicines, blood thinners, insulin, etc. If you have had surgery, they need to know when and what operations you have had. It helps them to know if things went well or if you had complications, such as bleeding or anesthetic problems. Finally, tell them about any previous treatment for the problem they are treating now.
