Preparing for Surgery Procedure The best time
to begin your exercise program is before your
surgery.  The sooner you start exercising, the
easier it will be after you have surgery.  Start
moving more, but dont injure yourself.  Walking
on a daily basis improves your circulation and
makes breathing easier during recovery.  You will
also benefit from having a plan in place prior to
your procedure eliminating the need to establish
one during your recovery phase.  A pedometer is a
great tool to help you track your walking
progress.  If joint pain becomes an issue and
prevents you from walking daily, you may want to
look into an aquatics program.  Water exercises
still condition your breathing but are not weight
bearing and therefore are easier for people who
have joint problems.

Procedures
In Adjustable gastric banding procedure, a hollow
band made of special material is placed around
the stomach near its upper end, creating a small
pouch and a narrow passage into the larger
remainder of the stomach. The band is then
inflated with a salt solution. It can be
tightened or loosened over time to change the
size of the passage by increasing or decreasing
the amount of salt solution.

Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy is commonly performed procedure to
Investigate and some key hole surgeries on
abdominal and pelvic organs. Laparoscopy is
direct visualization of the abdominal cavity and
intra-abdominal organs by using a laparoscopy.
The laparoscope is a long thin instrument with a
light source at its tip, to light up the inside
of the abdomen or pelvis. Fibreoptic fibres carry
images from a lens, also at the tip of the
instrument, to a video monitor, which the surgeon
and other theatre staff can view in real time.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is measure of body fat
based on height and weight that applies to both
adult men and women. BMI does not differentiate
between body fat and muscle mass. Therefore, body
builders and people who have a lot of muscle bulk
will have a high BMI but are not overweight or
obese. BMI is usually a good indicator of body
fat for most people. Although it doesnt directly
measure body fat, it closely correlates to direct
measures of body fat, such as underwater
weighing. BMI is also an inexpensive and
easy-to-perform method that can help determine if
a persons current weight could potentially lead
to health problems.
