Post-Bariatric Surgery Exercise Program

Bariatric After Care

 

You will lose weight rather quickly after surgery. Next you are waiting to see your body take shape. We help you realize the new you quickly and safely with Bariatric After Care.

 

Exercise is the most important component in your individual post-operative success. You cannot rely on the surgery and new diet alone. Those that are most successful make exercise and FUN a regular part of their new life!!

 

Bariatric After Care! is a 12-week water exercise class, developed especially to meet the needs of bariatric surgery patients. Bariatric After Care! exercise sessions include both aerobic conditioning for cardiovascular health and toning exercises for muscle definition. Not only does Bariatric After Care! promote group camaraderie, but also offers energizing music and dynamic instructors!

 

Bariatric After Care! meets Monday and Thursday evenings from 7-8PM at the Finley Ewing Cardiovascular and Fitness Center on the campus of Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. Bariatric After Care! exercise classes meet in the pool, so bring your swimwear. T-shirts and shorts are permissible, but no cut-off shorts with frayed edges, please. Changing areas, lockers, towels and showers will be available.

 

Bariatric After Care! is open to all bariatric surgery patients, regardless of procedure, regardless of where your surgery was done. Don't hesitate to call or email Thomas Fisch (CVC Director of Programs) at 214-345-2818 or with any questions about the program.
