How would you assess Mr. McKinley's readiness for a physical activity plan? How does exercise assist in weight loss after bariatric surgery?
What will be an ideal response?
• Mr. McKinley should adhere to an exercise routine that he enjoys.
• To assess readiness, see what he is willing to do and establish goals. Goals should be attainable, realistic, and concrete.
• Consider social support via group activities/teams/sports leagues and a personal trainer, as needed.
• Strenuous exercise should be avoided until he is healed, but walking should not be avoided.
• Physician should be consulted to discuss exercise options that are appropriate.
• Exercise will help maintain weight loss over time because after the weight is lost, Mr. McKinley will have to change his lifestyle to maintain weight loss.
• Exercise will help with chronic conditions such as obesity, hypertension (reduces BP), and diabetes. There is evidence that exercise improves insulin resistance.
• Once an exercise program is in place, Mr. McKinley will still have to follow up with a physician or exercise specialist to assess any medical problems associated with exercise such as chest pain, dyspnea, etc.
