I would like to hear from post-ops who were fairly active pre-op.

I have been a fairly active MO for most of my adult life. I usually have done some type of exercise - walking, aerobics, water aerobics, Curves for Women. Because of heel spurs and some weakness in my knees, I haven't been walking as much recently. We purchased a Bowflex last spring, and I have been working out 3-4 times a week with that. It is great for muscle tone, but I'm wondering if this type of routine will help with the sagging skin post-op. I guess I'd be considered a "lightweight" at 5'8" and 255 pounds. I carry my weight pretty evenly all over, with an "athletic" type build, but do have a larger stomach and butt proportionally. Thanks for any input. I love this site and enjoy reading all the posts. Everyone is great for sharing and being so honest. What a help it has been in my WLS research. Thanks.
