Physical Therapist?
We had to go to an exercise class. Everyone had to workout on machines for 30 minutes. You had a choice of elipitical, treadmill or a seated elipitical for those with bad knees or for people who don't exercise. We were given a workout schedule to begin. I was told to exercise from 60-90 min everyday. Others were told to exercise 20-30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. I think it was to show us that we could all do something.

I had to schedule appointments both pre-op and post-op with the surgeon, a nurse practitioner, psychologist, dietitian, and PT. The PT visits are to assess any functional limitations due to obesity and to give you strength training exercises to do to limit the amount of muscle mass you lose after surgery.
