A good idea
Today i visited my hand therapist who has a background in physical therapy and has worked with lots of disabled people. We were talking about wls and she said she thought it would be cool if there were personal trainers who specialized in designing programs for people who had lost a lot of weight or who were preparing for wls. many trainers are too hard core for us former butter balls and our issues with exercise in part lead to our obesity. I was thinking about how my surgeon has a staff dietician and thought about how cool it would be if there was a staff exercise consultant. many of us have loose skin, joint issues from our former fatness, and most of us have mental issues. so there should be a new specialty in this. maybe there already are such people. diane
