Experiencing reflux after bariatric surgery?

Changes to the stomach following some bariatric procedures can contribute to reflux symptoms in some people, including months or years after surgery.

Persistent heartburn, regurgitation, unexplained vomiting or difficulty swallowing are symptoms worth discussing with your bariatric team.

If something doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to work out the cause yourself.

Book an appointment with the PWLS team to discuss your symptoms and individual circumstances.

Why does strength training matter after bariatric surgery? 💪

Changes in body composition following surgery can include a reduction in muscle as well as fat. Strength training can play an important role in supporting your body as it changes.

💪 **Maintain Muscle Strength**
Strength training can help maintain and build muscle strength as part of your post-surgery journey.

🦵 **Support Your Joints**
Building strength can support joint stability, posture and everyday movements such as carrying shopping or climbing stairs.

🏃 **Support Everyday Function**
Maintaining strength can help support the movements and activities that form part of everyday life.

Strength training doesn’t need to mean heavy weights or an intensive gym routine. What’s appropriate will depend on your individual circumstances and stage of recovery.

Wondering what the pathway to bariatric surgery can involve?

From your first conversation through to assessment, preparation and ongoing care, there are a number of steps along the way.

We’ve broken down the PWLS pathway into 8 steps to help you understand what the process may involve.

Bariatric surgery is not suitable for everyone, and your individual circumstances, options, potential benefits and risks are discussed as part of the assessment process.

Strength training after bariatric surgery doesn’t have to mean heavy weights or long sessions at the gym. 💪

Starting with small, manageable movements can be a practical way to build strength and consistency over time.

**Start Small**
Sit-to-stands, wall push-ups or step-ups may be suitable starting points for some people.

**Build Consistency**
The focus doesn’t need to be on doing as much as possible. A manageable routine can make it easier to build movement into your week.

**Progress Gradually**
Your approach should reflect your current ability, individual circumstances and stage of recovery.

Not sure where to start? Get in touch with the PWLS team to learn more about the support available.

Progress isn’t only about the number on the scales.

Walking further, building consistency or working towards an everyday functional goal can offer different ways to recognise progress.

In this video, we look at the role of movement and why shifting the focus towards what your body can do can be valuable during a weight management journey.

Had a gastric band placed years ago?

Some people live with a gastric band for a long time without regular review, while others may experience symptoms, discomfort, reflux, food intolerance, weight regain or concerns that it is no longer working as expected.

A review can help you understand what is happening and what options may be appropriate for your situation.

This may include monitoring, gastric band removal, or in some cases, conversion to another bariatric procedure such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. The safest option depends on your symptoms, health history and anatomy.

The TGA has issued a safety advisory about counterfeit imported weight loss products being sold online, including products claiming to contain GLP-1 medicines.

According to the TGA, some products purchased online or from overseas may be fake, contain undisclosed ingredients, or not meet Australian standards for quality, safety and effectiveness.

If you are considering medication or any product as part of weight management, please speak with a qualified health professional first.

You can read the TGA safety advisory here:: https://www.tga.gov.au/safety/safety-monitoring-and-information/safety-alerts/counterfeit-weight-loss-products-claiming-contain-glp-1

Weight can affect how the body regulates blood sugar and how insulin works.

Bariatric surgery changes the way food moves through the digestive tract and may help some people feel full earlier and eat less. The way blood sugar responds can vary from person to person.

Understanding the available diabetes treatments can help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare team.
