Machines Suitable for 400-pounds+

Are there any exercise machines that are suitable and rated for use by people weighing over 400 pounds? I'm about 430 now, and about 1 month-pre-op.<p>I just inquired about the NordicTrack elliptical trainers, and their weight limit for all machines is 260 pounds, which seems rather low. The treadmill I have now is a good one, but I think the limit is 350, and after a few minutes use I can smell a little smoke from the motor, so I've discontinued using it (for a few more months anyway.) Right now I'm walking about 1.5 miles a day in the parking garage at work, but I'd really like something I could do in the privacy of my own home. Suggestions?
