I have never heard anyone being denied surgery. My friend gad surgery about 1 1/2 years ago and she has done extremely well without exercise. When they asked her about what kinda exercise she plans on doing she told them none other then her daily walking she does going to work and at work. All the said to her she needs to do more and she said ya ya ya
I would be afraid just tell them you do some walking and when you lose some weight you will be able to do more.

Don't be discourage sounds like your on your way to feel better

Take care

Thank you ...he didn't really give me a chance to explain anything...he would just cut me off and go on to another question.  It wasn't until the very end he told me his concerns about my mobility, and would not listen to anything I had to say.  All I can hope for is that I will still get to meet the surgeon and prove to him/her that I am worthy.  Thanks again for your reply.
