I had surgery on my neck where a clamp was inserted between two of the cervical bones to keep them in place. I also had low back surgery where I had pins and plates installed between two of my lumbar vertabrae. Prior to this, I was on an exercise program, and was steadily losing weight.
Now, I am almost totally immobile; I can walk for only about five minutes at a time. I can no longer even push a vacume cleaner or stand at the sink to wash a dish. As a result, I have ballooned to 345 pounds (I'm only 5'8") and have since suffered a mild stroke.
I have tried water therapy, and this hasn't helped. Can someone please tell me of a low impact exercise program that I can get into to lose this weight? I'm only 49 years old, and I don't want to die! PLEASE HELP!
