Welcome!  When is your check-up with your surgeon?  Probably best to wait and ask about more strenuous exercise then.  He/she will know more about your incisions and risk for any herniations,etc.  Glad you're doing so well!  Keep up the walking -- it's great exercise.

Topic: New here!

Hello Everyone!

I am new here.  Had  my RNY three weeks ago at OHSU and I'm doing great!  I am down 47 pounds from my highest weight and 21 since surgery.  

I do have a question though- when did you start doing any exercising besides walking?  I'm wondering if I can start biking or if I'm taking on too much.

 

thanks!

Topic: RE: Revision denied, but . . .

We're going for the vsg.  While I would love to lose a little more weight, I'm okay with where I am weight wise -- body wise, I can tell you that losing a lot of weight when you're over 50 is not pretty.  Parts are where they don't belong anymore, mostly headed south, and I want to same some money for some lifting instead of having to pay out of pocket for a revision!  ;D  I just want the pyloric valve and intrinsic factor back at the bottom of my stomach.  No more dumping, no more blood sugar crashes!

LOL - actually, I think I'd rather suffer than go back to work.  I really, really hated my job.
