I walk but can do nothing with wieghts or anything. I do work out the top and it looks good LOL even have my chest back in shape. My biggest worry is my mouth and no teeth. > My lips look like water going down a drain LOL When you have an anneurysm repaired, the stomache muscles get cut and that area gets that fat look and is very hard to firm up. The muscles under that layer I do have firm and back to normal but I will keep my shirt on for now unless alone. Get me some teeth and I won't worry about the other things, LOL
