Spinal fusion of C1-C6

I am looking for a video that I can view before scheduling ACDF surgery that clearly describes preparations prior to surgery from nutrition to exericise to how to prepare home and what to expect after surgery and how to prepare - I have seen some lists. Do you have a class that is given by a surgical nurse prior to having spine surgery at Mayo Clinic -- can I view that class now?

Welcome @dklack, Here is what I found that might be helpful.

--- Dr. Ali Bydon Performs An ACDF Procedure: https://clinicalconnection.hopkinsmedicine.org/videos/dr-ali-bydon-performs-an-acdf-procedure
--- Your Guide to Spine Surgery - Preparing for and Recovery from Surgery: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/centers_clinics/spine/_docs/surgery-guides/spine-surgery-guide-jhh.pdf

Normally when you have a surgery consult, Mayo Clinic doctors and care team give you a patient education package for how to prepare and the recovery process. Have you had a consult yet?
