The Bariatric Success Program at Prime Surgicare coordinates with the CentraState Fitness & Wellness Center to offer a Bariatric Wellness Program designed exclusively for people undergoing surgical weight loss.
“Prior to weight loss surgery, many people neglected regular exercise due to the stress of carrying too much weight,” explains board-certified bariatric surgeon Dr. Seun Sowemimo. ”One of the weight loss surgery benefits is rapid weight loss, making fitness and movement more comfortable and easier on the joints.” Dr. Seun says exercise is an ideal strategy to boost metabolism, increase calorie burn and improve muscle tone.
The CentraState Fitness & Wellness Center offers group and private sessions which meet 2X per week for eight weeks. Participants can choose a small group session ($299) or one-on-one training, both led by a highly-experienced certified personal trainer ($800). The program also includes one group fitness class of their choice per week. Options include yoga, strength and balance, total body, aqua sculpt or Zumba. A fitness club membership is not required.
“Our program is also suitable for pre-op patients who are losing weight before surgery,” says Linda Ortiz, wellness coordinator, CentraState Fitness & Wellness Center. “There is a true comradery in this group class and everyone receives individualized support and encouragement.”
If you have a chronic disease, check with your doctor before beginning any fitness experience. No previous fitness experience is required. Recent post-op patients should wait a minimum of four weeks after surgery and receive clearance from Dr. Sowemimo to proceed.
