Also, start taking Biotin to help avoid exessive hair loss. You can get it at Wal-mart. Pat

Hi Mandy. There is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much you can be doing. Exercise, especially the upper body to strengthen it, you will need it to lift and support your body after surgery. Watch your diet carefully, lose a few pounds and drink lots of water. Stop drinking pop and caffine, I stayed off it for 2.5 years, and was very glad I did. Be sure to include walking as well, it will help your blood pressure and give you better circulation for surgery and recovery. Get busy, don't waste time, start today. Also be sure you have ALL your questions answered, read books about surgery and results, and be sure you have all your family on your side for support! Take care. Patricia P.
