Exercise the day before surgery?

I have been exercising about every other day throughout my pre-op diet. I wanted ot give myself every opportunity to loose that 20 pounds my surgeon told me I needed to lose in 2 weeks. My surgery is Monday the 31st (woohoo!). Should I be concerned about straining myself at all by exercising the day before surgery? I usually walk 1-2 miles (on flat land) as my routine.

Thanks for your input!

I sure don't knowthe answer from a medical standpoint but...they usually just say to fast and clean out...I'm sure walking is great for you. Good Luck and keep us posted...I have a friend who has your signature as a last name....

I'm only guessing that excercise will make it all the better. Becuase you are already active by working out that will prob. make your recovery easier...
