Asked By:Quita409 in Columbus, OH

Hello doctors, I'm scheduled for BR Surgery in 2 weeks, I've been working out a lot and I know after my surgery I will not be able to do as much exercising as I was but I don't wanna be a bump on a log and just lay around and gain all my weight back. So my question is can I do lower body exercises like squats or crunches maybe power walking?
