Weight loss becomes critical and using the services of a weight loss integrated program may help in designing a program for you. A personal trainer and/or physical therapist may help by designing a personalized gradual exercise routine for you.

A stationary bicycle would be the most appropriate exercise and you should see a nutritionist regarding an appropriate program to lose wt. Good Luck

Start with restricting your caloric intake enough to lose about a pound a week. Start low intensity exercise like walking and increase the time and intensity as tolerated.
