Mary Jo:

Can you tell me if you did anything in advance to prepare for the surgery? Any kinds of exercise?

I asked the surgeon and he said no, but I can't help but think that some exercises to strengthen the abdominal muscles (even though they're not touched) might help with moving around.

Also, I'm wondering about weight. I've lost weight since treatment and am now down to 158 (5' 7 1/2 inches). I'd like to get down to 150 before surgery and the surgeon isn't discouraging me. He doesn't want me to lose too much though. Is that a good idea?
