Topic: RE: Is mall walking still a thing?

Lol lol! I'm definitely not a geezer and I love mall walking ! It's free it's heated there are displays to look at and like you basically have the place all to yourself with some exercise nuts ( and a few in shape geezers :) who can be very nice ) 

this time of year I get Crazy invitations to join gyms free or try them for weeks . There are like five gym chains in my area so I could easily work out every day for free until the weather gets warm . To tell the truth farming season is starting so I'm painting fences repairing beds etc and starting to plant fruit trees .

Topic: weekly work outs 2.27.17

I will start it but I can not say what my work out will be truly like this coming week.  I have been pretty ill and I have a feeling I have bronchitis. Tried to run today and did not go well. only did an hour instead of my 3 hours and it was mostly walking. I had to keep stopping due to coughing up my lung. Hope to see doctor this week. I have a race next sunday and by no means am i ready for it Well share though I have signed up for my first 1/2 ironman which will take place in sept. and I have some heavy training a head of me since I am weak with the bike.

Topic: RE: New To This Site Help Needed

Thank you so much for your response this is great info to know. My current insurance is crap I only have it because insurance is the law and I don't want to get stuck with tax fines. So that's why I was planning to pay cash to cut out the hassle of the insurance company (even if I changed to a better insurance).

My belief is expect the best and prepare for the worst so now I know that if I do pay cash for this surgery that I may need to change insurance companies so I can at least be with an insure that will cover complications from a self paid procedure. I was told about self pay insurance called BLIS (I think that's the name) it's supposed to help you if you have extreme costs due to complications and no insurance coverage.

I was also self-pay and I had a complication.  Although, my insurance paid for it.  My insurance pays for all my labs, which are over $1,000 each time, it paid for the EGD to have my stricture taken care of and it paid for all of my pre-op stuff.  I now need my gallbladder out and my GI doc wants me to go back to my bariatric surgeon but he isn't covered under my insurance so I'm going to a different doctor.  I would call your insurance to see if they cover complications.  My insurance said that even if something went bad during my surgery that they would cover that too.

Topic: RE: Just starting out, looking for exercise I can do at home

I would start with some low impact aerobics. Leslie Sansone has some Walk Away the Pounds DVDs that are good. Here is a free one that is on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYuw4f1c4xs

This is a 3 mile one, I would maybe start with just one mile until you build up some stamina. Good luck!
