Hi @Marg008

Fantastic work losing the weight, it's not easy.

We have a great surgery toolkit with exercises you could try, we normally say some discomfort is normal but if your in pain you should probably discuss this with the physio directly.

Have you got a follow up appointment with the physiotherapist? If not, then request one. Your exercise regime may need some tailoring to suit you better.
