What an interesting video. Although most of what the video is about is common sense in that you would recover much faster from any surgery if you give up smoking 6 to 8 weeks before surgery, get more exercise to help improve lung function and eat a more healthy diet.

I wish that there would be a group of "Prepare For Surgery" available in every hospital because a team such as this would help every surgical payient prepare the body as well as the mind for surgery.

Not what you're looking for?
