Get a weight bench and free weights, along with some dumbbells + an exercise bike. Another option is using flex bands. You don't need to take time to travel to a gym or pay for a membership.

Body weight exercises, push-ups, crunches, bicycle crunches, lunges, burbees, do a goggle search for "body weight" exercises and you'll find several differnt ways to modify them based on your level of fitness. Try walking / jogging, walk for a bit then jog for a few blocks, each week try to do a little more.

Wishing you much success on your journey.

I need to build muscle under my skin, I see my skin getting flabby after 50 lbs weight loss and want to put something under there!

If you're a beginner at weight training and can afford it, definitely get a gym membership and personal trainer. I swear by mine! Also, you can hurt yourself lifting if you're not sure of what you are doing. I promise it's worth it!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
