Before your surgery, your doctor will hand you a list of things that you should do in preparation for surgery. Pay close attention to this list, because some things - like cessation of specific medicines (e.g., anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulants, blood thinners - may require action up to 30 days before surgery. Many surgeons do not want you taking hormones or supplements of any kind. The most important thing you can do is exercise. Obviously, we only want you to do what you can, but we do want you as strong and healthy as possible on the day of surgery. The reason is pretty simple: the stronger you are, the faster you'll recover.
