Pre-op excerises?
So I'd say: do a lot of cardio.
I started walking and started going to the gym to ride the stationary bike. My program recommends cardio four days a week pre-op. Post up they say 4 days a week of a combo of cardio and strength training as a minimum workout schedule.

This won't help spot reduce but every trainer you work with will tell you need to strenghten the big core muscles. Pre-surgery (7 years ago) my trainer had me do a 45-minute non-stop weight and k-ball session. The best one is to put a k-ball on a wall and with your back against the ball just squat rolling the ball up your back, repeat 10-15 times. When you stop. Take a 5-minute brisk walk. Repeat with the ball. This will strengthen your legs, butt, etal. You can do this with 5-pound weights as you feel more comfortable. Good luck with your surgery. Movement is key to success.
