I had the lap band two years ago this April. I started my weight loss will be 3 years this September. From 328 to 197 pounds. With out exercise i would not be where i am at! I go to Golds gym 4 days a week with 3-4 spin classes and weight training. I have done bike tours of 35 miles, 42 and 70 miles. I am signed up for 75 and 100 miles. My first exercise for the first year was just walking everyday!

My GSD is 12/22. I am anxious to get started but feel daunted because I haven’t been able to exercise. I am not able to walk for long. I am hoping it won’t be too late after the surgery. I know how important it is. There is no one around to encourage me.

Michelle I am thinking about getting the band…I have pcos and I am having a hard time getting my weight off. What do you mean by “now you feel well enough to exercise”. For the past two months did you feel really bad? How long did it take you to get back on your feet after you had it done? I hope to hear from you

Good article!
I’m almost 2 months post-op and have lost 51 pounds…now I feel well enough to start a regular exercise regime!
I’ll start SLOW, though…my body’s not used to working out!

I found water aeorbic and love it. It is low impact for my bad knees, but you really get a workout. Try it you’ll love it.
