I do 3 - 4 days a week. I mix it up: Two mile walk with the dogs, Zumba, and swimming are my favorites. Anywhere between 45 and 60 minutes each time.

I exercise 5 to 6 days per week.

I do weightlifting 3 times weekly. I also run on most days of the week, either outdoors or on the gym's treadmill. In addition, I use the gym's stationary bike, elliptical machine, and stair mill.

I work out 5 days a week. I'm on the elliptical for an hour all 5 days. I'm on the recumbent bike 3 days a week, when I don't weight train. I also weight train two days a week, one of those days at the gym. Soon I'm also going to incorporate resistance training.

The choice is purely yours to make. Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Do you want to run the risk of dying early due to obesity-related illnesses because you wanted to avoid some loose skin?
  2. Do you want to enhance your qualify of life and be a normal-weight person, even if it means you'll have some loose skin?

If you back out of weight loss surgery because you're afraid you'll develop loose skin, you're possibly having surgery for the wrong reasons. Bariatric surgery is about reclaiming and/or enriching one's health, not about eye-candy aesthetics.

Sometimes loose skin is the trade-off for the chance to live to the fullest. Only you can decide if you wish to fight the battle or run away from it because you fear your skin may sag.

Also, be honest: do you truly like your obese body the way it looks today? If not, why are you so worried about the potential of some skin sag?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
