About this listen

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Melinda J. Hahm

Bariatric surgery is very likely the most effective method for long-term weight loss. It’s not unusual for patients to lose well over 50% of their excess body weight. As a result, a variety of chronic health risks are reduced including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, hypertension to name just a few. Exercise, associated with bariatric surgery is important to help achieve and maintain long-term weight loss and help prevent regaining the weight lost. The topic for this podcast is “Exercise and Bariatric Surgery” and my guest is Melinda J. Hahm, an exercise physiologist from the Mayo Clinic. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include the benefits of exercise associated with bariatric surgery, when patients should start an exercise program in relation to their surgery and what type of exercise is best to help maintain weight loss.
