Hi Kat Well I am with you on that one. Man I really hate to exercise. Expecially walking. That is what my surgeon recommends. NO let me rephrase that. DEMANDS that we do for exercise. Seven days a week for 30 minutes each day. He starts them out right off the bat. Also Curves is a great exercise program. I use to go there three times a week when I had lost a lot of weight back in 2002 doing Akins. However if you are really big like I am again it is hard sometimes getting on and off of the machines, but in that case you just do what you can. I plan to start going again once I have my surgery. So you might check it out. Sometimes they will give you a couple of free times to go so you can see if you will like it or not. They also run specials from time to time where it is free to join. Anyway good luck if finding what works for you.

I like Curves, it is a 30 minute workout Susan

Sherry, I'm with you, I've always seen at minimum 2 night stay... but this week I met a surgon who does a 1 night stay only. I was surprised, but it seems to work for him

Congratulations. Wow, one night sure is a short stay in the hospital. I hope all continues ok, just make sure to take it easy. Usually they keep people for 48 hours to make sure there is no leak, so it's surprising they let you go early. Anyway, keep up the good work. Sherry

Steph, It took 6 months for me to get approved. Just follow whatever guidelines your insurance requires. Lisa
