RE: Exercise vs non-exercise before surgery

[Guest guest]

Absolutely try to exercise and even lose weight if possible before

the surgery!!! When I asked Dr. Pomp these same questions he said

that it didn't make that much difference - and it doesn't, to the

surgeon. But I can tell you that not having done either was one of

my major regrets afterwards. You just feel more reved up and capable

of coping if you go in feeling fit. JMHO
