Hi,I can not comment on the medical part. However,as far as not being able to exercise and still losing the weight,that's a big yes. I use a walker so I never walked far,just had to tell myself all movement is good movement,even going to the kitchen. My nutritionist gave us a range of amounts to eat the lower part being for the low to no exercising,to the more active.
I always ate on the lower part of the scale,but I ate well.I was advised under eating would not make me lose weight,but would make my body hold on to the fat.
So,the short answer is yes you can. I am blessed that I live in Phoenix because I could use the pool,and I do not swim,but I could do bicycles and jumping jacks arm circles,and such,I am weightless in the pool and took my pain pill first,which once again,I am NOT advising you to do.I also was never in the pool alone.
Much luck to you!

hi linda, thank you for the info...ould you send me some of the info that you nutritionist gave you about eating to lose on the lowest end that may help me...congrats on your weight loss!

I can't walk very far but I joined our local hospital healthplex gym to have access to the warm water therapy pool and other indoor pool.  I take pain medication first.  They have an exercise class for bariatric patients.  I had my RNY 11/13/08 and have lost 77 lbs. about 8 lbs. a month.  The warm water pool has a thing to lower patients into the water.  Perhaps you could find a gym with a pool.
IF not there are exercises you can do while sitting - leg lifts, arm circles, etc.  Good luck.
