The 3 "Standard" Surgeries to Reconsider After 75 (Doctor Warns)

Many people are told that surgery is “routine” or “standard” as they get older… but after 75, nothing about your body is truly routine anymore. This video is a calm, honest conversation with a doctor about three common surgeries that are often suggested automatically – and why they may deserve a second look in advanced age.

Have you or a loved one ever felt rushed into a medical decision, signing papers without really understanding the risks, benefits, and alternatives? As we age, recovery becomes slower, complications become more frequent, and what once was a simple procedure can turn into months of lost strength and independence. You have the right to ask questions, to pause, and to truly understand what’s best for your life and your goals.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✨ The 3 “standard” surgeries older adults are most often offered – and why they’re not always the best option after 75
✨ How anesthesia, hospital stays, and recovery can affect memory, mobility, and independence in seniors
✨ Smart questions to ask your surgeon so you’re making a fully informed decision, not a rushed one
✨ When it may be safer to say “wait” or “let’s explore alternatives” – and how to discuss this without conflict with your doctor or family

This video is not about scaring you away from surgery. It’s about giving you clarity, language, and confidence so you can decide with your medical team what truly serves your health, your dignity, and your quality of life. Your body, your years, and your choices matter.
