I hate the gym too. I pay and never go. So I am looking into things I do like: walking, yoga, pilates, boxing, dancing ( I want to try Zumba or Jazzerise). If is fun, I am more apt to do it. I'm also hoping that by going to a group exercise class that I make friends which will motivate me to keep coming. As a last resort, I will rejoin Curves because at least then you get a workout in less than a hour and since I hate working out, the less time the better.

Thanks for your perspective. I read about marathons and all kinds of amazing workouts folks on here are doing, so I wasn't sure if it was enough.

Jimmy, like a lot of folks, I'm all thumbs when it comes to weight lifting and working out in general. What do you think of those Curves-type workouts that combine cardio and weight training in a timed circuit? I find it is idiot-proof enough that I can do it. My question is, is it effective?

I won't miss being tired and out of energy all the time I won't miss being the largest person in the room I won't miss feeling my breasts rest on my stomach when I sit down I won't miss sweaty chub rub or sweating through my pants/skirts when sitting for a long time I won't miss people giving me a wide birth then they walk by

My insurance does not cover the sleeve, only band or bypass. However, I have called into them before and they have implied that if my doctor can prove that sleeve is medically necessary, then they will approve it.

I have called my insurance (Healthnet h,m,o) and they cover WLS but have several conditions that worry me. first they require all procedures to go through their Bariatric Centers. Has anyone heard of these, dealt with them. Second, they only cover the lap-band or gastric bypass UNLESS some how the doctor proves that the sleeve is medically necessary. Does anyone know how to prove the sleeve is necessary and conversley that these other forms are WLS would be contra-indicated? I really only want the sleeve after doing my research. Lastly, does anyone with Healthnet *** know what the steps are to their approval process. I couldn't figure out if they require dieting, nutrition counseling, classes, etc. thank you!

thank you for asking that! i go to a new PCP on wednesday and an so nervous that the PCP will create hurdles rather than clear them out of my way. I have an *** so have to get a referral.

I want to walk without getting tired, dance without getting winded after 2 minutes, and feel comfortable in my own skin.
