Go into surgery with more in the tank.

PRIME helps you build strength, mobility, and nutrition momentum in the weeks before surgery, so you're not walking in under-prepared.

Your surgeon recommended PRIME because it helps you:

  • Build the strength and mobility your body needs to handle surgery and bounce back faster
  • Dial in your nutrition so your body has the protein, hydration, and micronutrients it needs to heal
  • Stay consistent and on track in the weeks before surgery, with clear daily targets and no guesswork
  • Address the preparation gaps most patients don't even know they have until it's too late
  • Show your surgeon you're ready. Your preparation data is tracked and reported directly to your surgical team so they can see exactly how well you prepared walking into surgery day

The patients who recover fastest start preparing the earliest. Be one of them.

A personalized protocol. Clear daily targets. Real momentum.

Complete your onboarding survey and required education

A short survey personalizes your daily targets and pre-op protocol to your surgery and needs. Then spend about 15 minutes on the required education modules before you dive in.

Check off your daily targets every day until surgery

Your personalized daily checklist covers movement activities and nutrition goals. Clear daily targets, no guesswork. Just show up and check it off.

3

Your coach checks in. Your surgeon stays informed.

A dedicated SurgicalRx Pre-Op Readiness Coach monitors your progress and is available anytime via message or call. Your adherence data is reported directly to your surgical team throughout the program, so everyone caring for you on surgery day knows how prepared you are.

Common questions

Is PRIME only for before surgery?+

Yes. PRIME is designed specifically for the pre-op window, to help you build readiness before surgery day.

How much time does this take per day?+

Most people do best with short, consistent daily effort. PRIME is designed so you can make progress without turning your life upside down. Most of the prehab protocols can be completed in less than 30-45 minutes each day.

Do I need a gym?+

No. PRIME is built around practical, repeatable movement and prehab, often doable at home.

What if I'm starting from a low baseline (pain, stiffness, or low activity)?+

That's exactly who this is for. PRIME is designed for real pre-op patients, not athletes.

Does PRIME guarantee fewer complications or faster recovery?+

No program can guarantee outcomes. PRIME uses evidence-informed prehab and nutrition targets that are associated with better surgical readiness and, in multiple analyses, fewer complications and shorter length of stay.

Is this just a meal plan?+

No. PRIME is a complete pre-op care protocol. Nutrition is one part of it, alongside a personalized prehab exercise protocol, a daily readiness checklist, and surgical education matched to your procedure. Everything works together to help you show up to surgery in better shape.

Is this generic nutrition advice?+

No. PRIME's nutrition targets are personalized to your starting point, your surgery type, and your lifestyle. You get specific, trackable daily targets (not a list of general tips) from the moment you complete your assessment through surgery day.

Does PRIME cost anything?+

There is no out-of-pocket cost to you. PRIME is billed through your insurance as a covered part of your surgical preparation.
