Anyone know of effective breathing exercise to prepare for surgery?

Hello everyone. I have heard several post-op people mention difficulty breathing after surgery. Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for this? Anyone do breathing exercises prior to surgery and felt it helped? I am really worried about the recovery phase. I finally have a surgery date and am more nervous by the day! Thank you all!
