Being Obese & having SURGERY??
| Wed, 03-15-2006 - 10:15am |
I just found out I have to have surgery. There is not a lot time before they do it because time is of the essence with my issue. I am not super worried about the surgery as it is as *routine* as a surgery can be.
Have any of you had surgery while 100+? I want to try and get some cardio strength before it all happens do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Depends on what kind of surgery you are having. I had a spinal fusion in 2001 that went just fine and I "was" well over 100 lbs obese. I would think seriously of eating healthy and shoring up on all the foods that strengthen your immune system before surgery.
Good Luck!!

thanks! I am already eating healthy(even before this) and I haven't been eating much because I haven't been feeling well. One of my symptoms was a severe migraine so I thought maybe it was something I was eating so I went very healthy and cut out caffeine and started eating healthy so I am already there.
What are foods that will boost my immune system? Can you tell me what they are? I am going to start walking today.
Thanks for the advice & the boost....
