I started walking the night after surgery lol and continued only cardio for about 3mos, then I started doing arms/legs/back/chest.I didnt start doing stomach exercises until 6mos just bc I was being a total worry bug and was afraid I'd flip my port ;-/ you can def.start with weights earlier though I'm sure.looking back I'm not really sure why I waited 3mos to start.

I have lost 55 lb. since I had surgery in May. I'm not happy with my loss and with everything starting to be saggy it makes me grossed out . Do I say something to my surgeon or the family doctor?

After a great weight loss saggy skin is to be expected. After you've lost all your weight you might want to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon regarding removal of excess skin. Unfortunately this is never covered by insurance and can cost quite a bit.
