Here are some you may not think of:
Pre-op Exercises
Deep Breathing Exercises: You should exercise your lungs every day before surgery by inhaling deeply through your nose, then slowly exhaling through your mouth. Repeat this three times and then cough two times, every 30 minutes. These exercises are necessary to remove any excess secretions that may settle in your lungs while you are asleep during surgery.
Ankle Pumps: You should pump your ankles back and forth 1,000 times every day before your surgery. This is your best defense against blood clots.
