I went after work to the Wellness Center at the hospital here. I have a friend whose husband died several months before mine, and she recently joined after gaining a lot of weight.
It's not a gym - it's thru the hospital and a personal trainer "interviews" me and measures me
. After filling out a BOOK of questions, the trainer comes up with a plan of supervised exercise and diet for me.
I've talked with my sons and DIL - they are afraid of the surgery because of the risks associated with it. I'm joining tomorrow and will start as soon as possible.
All the machines are there, including pools for water aerobics, yoga, and anything else you can think of. I have to undergo a physical assessment and it'll be a week before they let me do anything.
Wish me luck...............this is a last resort
