Hi, Mezzo:

I actually joined the gym a month before my surgery so I was able to do a little walking to help rid myself of the gas. Then I returned to the gym less than 2 weeks after my surgery. I walked on the treadmill at a zero incline at about 2.5 mph and used the new-step machine. If you don't know that that is, you pump your feet forward and back and there you use your arms to push forward and back also. I also used a machine that you sit at and use your arms only called a Sci-Fit machine.

Today I walk the treadmill at a 12% incline at about 3.1 mps. I row, use the 2 machines I listed above, I use the eliptical machine and lift weights. I LOVE THE GYM.

I hope you are doing well and are as happy as I am that I was banded.
