Exercise After Gastric Bypass


Gastric bypass exercise is a critical part of long-term weight loss success for Bariatric surgery patients. Often, the importance of exercise and fitness is overlooked when surgery is considered. Many have the misconception that gastric bypass surgery alone can solve the problem of obesity and its related health effects. In fact, recovering from the excess wear and tear that those extra pounds place on all parts of the body requires regular exercise.
Obesity places a terrific strain on all parts of the body. Bones and joints are overburdened by excess weight, often resulting in pain, swelling, and damage that can cause the patient to become immobile in some cases, confined to the bed or wheelchair. The heart, lungs, and many other internal organs can be adversely affected, causing the onset of heart disease, respiratory difficulties, and diabetes. The vascular system is placed under strain, often resulting in hypertension. Even the bladder can be affected, the pressure applied by excess weight causing incontinence issues. Regular exercise can help the body repair this damage, as well as hastening and maintaining weight loss.

Before surgery, gastric bypass exercise and nutrition routines are recommended to help the body gain strength. This preparation can help to promote a more favorable outcome for the patient, reducing the risk of surgical complications and speeding the healing and recovery process. Surgery of any kind is traumatic to all body systems, but the impact can be less severe when the body is conditioned before the procedure.

As the reduced stomach capacity and shorter digestive tract provided by the procedure begin to cause weight loss, gastric bypass exercise routines become more important than ever. As the pounds are shed, mobility will become easier and joint pain will begin to subside. This process can be greatly enhanced by moderate and consistent exercise to help regain the strength and agility that was lost to obesity.

The heart and lungs will require some strengthening and recovery from the harsh toll that obesity takes on these vital organs. Deep breathing exercises are great for the lungs, and walking is a great means of strengthening the heart muscle. These activities are generally included in a gastric bypass exercise plan, and will become easier as strength and agility return.

The body has a marvelous ability to repair and rebuild, even after years of carrying the burden of severe obesity. With a consistent gastric bypass exercise regimen and a solid nutrition plan, the body can soon recover much of the vigor that is lost with the onset of chronic obesity.
