Bariatric Surgery

What are the benefits of performing physical exercise after bariatric surgery? 

  • Some expert bariatric surgeons opine that exercising after bariatric surgery increases the speed of the weight loss program. 
  • Doing physical exercises after surgery helps in faster healing along with decreasing post-surgery bodily complications.
  • Exercising after bariatric surgery elevates the mood or mental state of a patient.
 
Which exercises a patient should go for after bariatric surgery? 

After the surgery or during the healing time period, patients are more likely to remain at some increased risks of physical complications. Hence, doctors recommend starting the regime slowly and moderately. Let us discuss this in detail. 

    • Exercises for the first one-two months after the surgery: 

Since after the surgery, your body is now still adopting some changes, the only exercise you can go for is walking. A slow ten minutes of walk a day is enough during the first one-two months after the surgery. Your body is still weak enough and it will take time to heal properly. Hence, make sure that you do not push yourself during this time period. And also, note that abdominal exercises should be totally avoided during this time. 

    • Exercises during the third month after the surgery: 

At the end of the second month after the surgery, many people think that their body is ready to perform weight lifting. But we shall suggest you that visit your doctor and ask him/her whether you can do it or not. Otherwise, do not start jogging and weight lifting just because you have completed two months after bariatric surgery. However, with your doctor’s permission, you can go for mind aerobics and anaerobic workouts. 

    • Exercises during four to six months after the surgery: 

Examining the bodily state of the patient, doctors suggest doing physical exercises at least for 20-30 minutes thrice a week. The exercises you can do during this time are- 
  • Swimming
  • Yoga
  • Dancing
  • Walking
  • Weight training

After the fourth month of bariatric surgery, patients hardly face any severe bodily complications. And, after six months, a person can do physical exercise for 45 minutes that too five days a week. Hence, when six months get over, speak to your doctor, and with the doctor’s permission enjoy a wide range of physical exercises as a healthy habit.
