How much will I bruise or swell?
It depends on the type of surgery and the individual. Generally bruising and swelling goes down within the first two weeks after surgery and continues from then out. If you bump your leg and you bruise very easily than you will probably bruise very easily during surgery. Individuals that do not bruise and swell easily are less likely to after surgery.

Are there any medications I should stop taking before surgery?
Never stop taking any medications prescribed by a physician unless that physician gives you the okay to stop. In certain cases patients that are on blood thinners may be asked to contact their cardiologist or prescribing doctor to see if it is okay for them to stop taking their medication for a short period of time.
