weight loss surgery

As soon as you are given the “OK” by your surgeon following weight loss surgery, incorporating exercise into your post-op plan will help not only with weight loss, but also helps to improve cardiovascular health and boost your mood! What is the first step? Taking that first step, literally. Exercise specialist Mo Smith encourages patients to start small. “I ask them to start out with baby steps,” she explains. “The goal is to start with three days a week of walking for 30 minutes total each day throughout the day. For example, you can walk three 10-minute sessions throughout the day.

Each year, post-op patients, family, friends, support groups, and the Bailey Bariatrics team comes together to celebrate the success of those who have taken the steps on their journey towards a healthier life. We celebrate their success, milestones reached and lives changed.
