  1. Im not sure if its a requirement but my surgeon wants me to go to therapy, i've been to therapy twice, each lasting for about 6 months, it never lasts too long because i just never benefit from it, its just too repetitive for me and theres never anything to talk about, it becomes awkward for me so i just do not like it, its just not something that works for me, i like to do my own thing. Does anyone HAVE to go? even if they don't want to? what will happen if i just refuse? its hard for me so refuse to things because i don't want to seem rude. I'm 14 days post-op.
  2. I know they want you walking after surgery, but what about things like running or jumping? Like jumping jacks for instance, i feel like i would be too scared to do that stuff and jostle my pouch too much or something. When after surgery would it be fine to do these things?

  5. Thank you for sharing your experience! it makes me feel a little less intimidated
  6. It's required that i visit the bariatric exercise program twice before i can have my surgery, I'm kind of nervous about it because i don't like being watched while i exercise, i'm just wondering what goes on in these things, can someone share their experience with this? what do they have you do exactly? do they give you exercising tips?
