AQUA MD
Perioperative IV Hydration & Physiologic Recovery Support
An Adjunctive Option for Surgical Wellness Before and After Your Procedure — Backed by Physician-Directed Care
What’s Inside AQUA MD SURGICAL HYDRATION & RECOVERY PROGRAM™
Individually Tailored IV Hydration & Recovery Support:
Physician-guided mobile IV hydration therapy designed to support hydration, electrolyte balance, comfort, and wellness before and after surgery or medical procedures.
Each treatment is individualized based on clinical assessment, surgical timing, symptoms, medications, medical history, and peri-operative considerations.
Therapy may include balanced isotonic fluids, electrolytes, clinically appropriate medications, and optional nutrient support when appropriate.
By delivering fluids directly into the bloodstream, IV hydration therapy may help during periods when oral hydration or nutrition is limited or poorly tolerated after surgery or procedures [1].
Hydration and electrolyte support may help maintain normal circulation, muscle function, nerve signaling, and overall physiologic balance during recovery.
When clinically appropriate, therapy may include:
- Nausea Management
Medications may be considered to help manage nausea or reduced oral intake during the peri-operative period.
- Mild Inflammation and Discomfort
Selected therapies may help promote general comfort during recovery.
- General Symptom Relief
Treatment may be tailored for fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, or reduced intake when appropriate.
- Vitamin and Nutrient Support
Selected vitamins and nutrients may be included to support antioxidant balance, immune function, relaxation, tissue repair, and normal recovery physiology [2].

Post-operative sessions are commonly scheduled within 7 days after surgery depending on symptoms, recovery status, and clinical considerations.
Appointments generally last 45–90 minutes depending on the individualized treatment protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose only the pre-op or only the post-op treatment?
Yes. You may choose pre-operative support, post-operative support, or the combined pre- and post-operative program depending on your surgical timeline and recovery needs.
Do I need to tell my surgeon or anesthesia team?
Yes. Patients are encouraged to inform their surgeon and anesthesia provider about any IV fluids, medications, or additives received before or after surgery.
Can this help if I am fasting before surgery?
Possibly, but timing matters. Pre-operative IV therapy is typically scheduled 12–24 hours before surgery when clinically appropriate and should not conflict with your surgical team’s fasting or medication instructions.
Does this treatment replace drinking fluids after surgery?
No. Oral hydration remains important when allowed by your surgical team. IV therapy may provide additional support when intake is reduced, poorly tolerated, or temporarily limited.
Can this help with nausea, discomfort, or pain after surgery?
When clinically appropriate, supportive medications or comfort-focused options may be included to help with nausea, mild discomfort, or inflammation during recovery.
This program is not a replacement for your prescribed pain plan, and persistent nausea, severe pain, worsening symptoms, or concerning post-operative changes should be evaluated by your surgical team.
