Thank you so much for your response this is great info to know. My current insurance is crap I only have it because insurance is the law and I don't want to get stuck with tax fines. So that's why I was planning to pay cash to cut out the hassle of the insurance company (even if I changed to a better insurance).
My belief is expect the best and prepare for the worst so now I know that if I do pay cash for this surgery that I may need to change insurance companies so I can at least be with an insure that will cover complications from a self paid procedure. I was told about self pay insurance called BLIS (I think that's the name) it's supposed to help you if you have extreme costs due to complications and no insurance coverage.
I was also self-pay and I had a complication. Although, my insurance paid for it. My insurance pays for all my labs, which are over $1,000 each time, it paid for the EGD to have my stricture taken care of and it paid for all of my pre-op stuff. I now need my gallbladder out and my GI doc wants me to go back to my bariatric surgeon but he isn't covered under my insurance so I'm going to a different doctor. I would call your insurance to see if they cover complications. My insurance said that even if something went bad during my surgery that they would cover that too.
I'm frickin' standing still...

I would start with some low impact aerobics. Leslie Sansone has some Walk Away the Pounds DVDs that are good. Here is a free one that is on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYuw4f1c4xs
This is a 3 mile one, I would maybe start with just one mile until you build up some stamina. Good luck!

I used to love just dance. Maybe I should pick up the ps4 version. Thank you for the idea!
I enjoy Just Dance. Gets me moving my upper body more than just swinging my arms while walking.
Once my restrictions are listed (at a month), I'll be doing the My Peak Challenge workouts. http://www.mpc2017.com/ They've got variations for all the exercises and it's a very supportive community. The moves and variations are all demonstrated on video with the coaches.
