Bariatric Surgeons in Cedar Park

Weight Loss Surgery Support

Although procedures such as laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy surgery can safely and effectively reduce the size of the stomach, prompting rapid weight loss, surgery alone will not produce optimal results.

What to Expect After Bariatric Surgery

Patients must make drastic lifestyle changes after surgery, including altering their diets and exercise routines. Having a healthy attitude and appropriate expectations are also components of successful weight loss. Fortunately, our bariatric surgeons in Cedar Park have developed a plan to help weight loss patients adjust to their new lives.

The Components of

a Healthy Lifestyle

Support Groups & Seminars

B+A offers structured support groups for our patients from Austin and the surrounding areas.

Dietary Habits

Immediately before and after surgery you will need to make some dietary changes to ensure that your surgery is as successful as it can be.

Exercise Habits

Engaging in regular physical activity is critical for patients who want not only to lose their excess weight but to keep it off.

Support Groups, Counseling, & Seminars

Bariatric surgery is a serious commitment to your health, and most people want to learn from the experiences of others familiar with the bariatric surgery weight loss journey. Emotional support is a huge component to successfully losing weight, maintaining weight loss, and enjoying a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Support groups and seminars are arranged by our B+A Surgeons practice conveniently located in Cedar Park. These help those who are contemplating weight loss surgery or patients who have recently had a bariatric procedure to learn directly from professionals and other bariatric patients in an informal and friendly environment.

Bariatric support groups, counseling services, and seminars are available in the Austin area throughout the entire calendar year to assist patients who have embarked upon their weight loss journeys.

Dietary Habits

Having a reduced appetite and stomach capacity after bariatric surgery assists you to lose substantial amounts of weight in the months following your bariatric procedure.

However, after your bariatric surgery in Cedar Park, you will also need to learn the elements of proper nutrition and how to create a healthy and sustainable diet for yourself. Our dietitians and other health professionals are here to teach you these skills.

Exercise Habits

Many of our bariatric patients are used to a sedentary lifestyle prior to surgery, and may be hesitant about starting an exercise regimen.

Our practice understands that co-morbidities such as respiratory difficulties, cardiovascular issues, and joint pain make it hard for patients to adopt a regular exercise routine. But we can suggest simple exercises that are safe and effective, and then work up to higher intensity workouts.

The goal is for patients to increase physical fitness, maintain healthy weight loss, and develop muscle mass so that they can burn more calories. In some cases, our doctors may recommend enlisting the help of a physical trainer.
