Exercise the day before surgery?

[RachRach 0]

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'd be getting in as much exercise as I could to make up for the few days break to follow!

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...
