Asked By:Leelar24 in Australia, AU

I'm scheduled for a standard Abdominoplasty in early December & would like to lose 10lbs ( goal weight 126) over the next four + months, I'm working out 6 days a week (& have done for many years) & wondered if it was ok to work out the day before surgery? Or is it better to be rested? Thank you
