I'm having lap RNY on 1/29/03. I'm 54 yrs. old, 5'4

What's the best way someone can prepare for surgery to help ensure the fewest complications. I know there are no guarantees, but am wondering if there's anything I can do, pre-op, to help have a successful surgery/recovery. (including lose weight? exercise?)
