Good for you! I have been walking, but recently joined a gym. It had been good for my entire family. I am trying to schedule to be there everyday for at least an hour. You are an inspiration

Thank you!! That makes me feel so good. I hope your family enjoys going to gym. I kinda do it in sections, I have to do 30 minute no matter what. Then if I feel good after that I go for 45 minutes and eventually make it to an hour. I usually do the treadmill, but I do the bike when my husband goes with me on his days of from work. I do the treadmill a lot because it is only piece of equipment that I can get my heart rate high enough on. I tried the elliptical but I have had 6 surgeries on my lower back and it's just not the machine for me. I plan on getting a real bicycle at Christmas time. We rode the bike trails where I live for 15 miles a couple of weeks ago. I was tired but it was fun. Remember to start out slow, you don't have to be a hero the first time there. Choose a goal and work towards that. My goal was to be able to walk over 3 miles on the treadmill and I met that this week. I don't plan on being a runner but I sure can walk fast. Make working out fun and the time will go by really fast.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
