Why is Exercise Important After Bariatric Surgery?

1. Enhances Recovery

Physical therapy and guided exercise post-surgery help improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent complications.

2. Builds Strength

Maintaining muscle mass is essential for a healthy metabolism and recovery; we guide you through safe, effective exercises.

3. Develops Sustainable Habits

We focus on building habits that support your goals and address the physical and lifestyle changes after surgery.


Our Bariatric Rehabilitation Approach

Personalised Programmes

Each person's journey is unique. We assess your needs and tailor a programme that respects your goals, challenges, and lifestyle.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Support:

We partner with nutritionists to provide education on meal planning, portion control, and the importance of nutrients to complement your rehab journey.

Safe Exercise Techniques:

Exercise is an integral part of recovery. Our physiotherapists specialise in designing low-impact, progressive routines to build strength, enhance flexibility, and improve cardiovascular health.

 


Additional Recommendations for a Successful Recovery

- by American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS)

1. Balanced Nutrition for Healing

  • Take Small, Frequent Meals and Stay Hydrated: Eat smaller portions more frequently to help manage hunger and support steady energy levels throughout the day.
  • Hydration: Drink at least 6 - 8 cups of water daily. Avoid drinking with meals to prevent feeling too full or bloated.

2. Stay Active in Daily Life

  • Move Often: Incorporate light movement like walking around the house every hour, especially if sitting for extended periods. Use household chores as exercise.

3. Mindful Eating Habits

  • Eat Slowly: Take your time to chew thoroughly. This can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

4. Set Realistic Goals

  • Focus on Progress, Celebrate Small Wins: Recognise and celebrate small milestones in your recovery journey, like increasing stamina or improving your diet.

5. Attend Follow-Up Appointments

  • Regular Check-Ins: Follow your healthcare provider's recommended schedule for check-ups to monitor your progress and adjust your recovery plan as needed.
