Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm of the view that if you followed the post surgery lifestyle changes without the surgery you would still lose weight and achieve your goal without all of the risks.

Personally based on my HRM, a moderate intensity 30 minute Elliptical workout burns around 450 calories for me. I've gotten as high as 650 doing High intensity intervals on the elliptical in 30 minutes. 700 for an hour seems reasonable, but again it does depend on weight and fitness level.

I to create my own exercises. I use a HRM to track my calorie burn, and edit the calories each workout.

After my first free visit I was completely spent, I could barely walk, I almost fell stepping off the curb because my legs were so weak.
