How POP Recovery Systems Is Redefining Surgical Care

A Conversation That Matters

Our founder and CEO, Laura Alexis, sat down with Dr. William Triggs on Triggs Table Talks to pull back the curtain on something the surgical world often overlooks: what happens after the operating room lights go off.

This isn’t just a podcast episode, it’s a conversation about the future of surgical care, about the gap too many patients fall into, and about how one woman’s personal struggles turned into a movement reshaping recovery for patients and practices alike.

When Recovery Gets Personal

Every great change begins with a story. For Laura, that story began in the most vulnerable place—her own recovery.

She didn’t just experience surgery as a patient. She lived through the confusion, the lack of support, the isolation that so many quietly endure after a procedure. She knew firsthand how recovery can feel overwhelming, unstructured, and lonely.

And like many great leaders, she turned her pain into purpose.

Building Something That Didn’t Exist

Instead of accepting “that’s just how it is,” Laura asked a daring question:

What if recovery could be designed differently?

That single question grew into POP Recovery Systems, a model that bridges the gap between the surgical suite and everyday life.

POP integrates:

  • Preparation before surgery so patients know what to expect and how to support their own healing.

  • Concierge-level aftercare with nutrition, movement, mental health, and wound care support.

  • Partnerships with surgeons that improve not just patient outcomes but also the long-term efficiency and ROI of their practices.

It was bold. It was innovative. And it was desperately needed.

Too often, patients believe the “success” of surgery ends with the incision closing. But healing isn’t just medical, it’s deeply personal.

Laura and Dr. Triggs discuss what every patient deserves to know:

  • Recovery is not passive, it’s active, and it requires support.

  • Preparation before surgery often makes the difference between confidence and fear.

  • Having a team to walk beside you can transform recovery from isolating to empowering.

For patients, this conversation is a reminder: you don’t have to walk the recovery road alone.

Recovery is more than an afterthought, it’s part of their legacy.

When patients are supported, surgeons see fewer complications, better compliance, and stronger long-term outcomes.

From Vision to Movement

POP Recovery Systems is more than an idea, it’s a movement toward:

  • Humanizing healthcare so patients are seen not as cases, but as people.

  • Expanding recovery beyond the physical to include emotional, mental, and lifestyle support.

  • Redefining success for both patients and providers as something sustainable and empowering.

A New Era of Recovery

This interview it’s about reimagining what recovery could look like, for every patient, every practice, every procedure.

It’s about courage.
It’s about vision.
