Do some uh how to do vitamins after surgery when is it okay to to get a massage I mean there are questions they’re they’re common questions but they’re frequent I mean it’s it’s dayto day I mean it’s something it’s a lifestyle that you’re when can I do such
And such vitamins when can I do um a massage I mean it happens it it gets to the patient to to a point that like I need to know this so those types of questions are are great I I really like it and that’s why uh the show exists and
Hey uh go go ahead and hit that subscribe button that way you don’t miss out on any of our future videos all right so let’s get into the show all right so the first question is I want to know if I can run a marathon uh if I had a gastric sleeve
Surgery and the answer is yes of course not right away but um if you train can you run a marathon Yes actually I I want to um uh some years back I I used to train with a with a good friend of mine I did
His sleeve he used to be uh close to 300 little over 300 lb and now he’s he’s way under me I mean uh he he trains he’s faster than me and uh we would cycle together we would train together and we would run uh we would do um uh races I
Want to say like 60 mies and every once in a while maybe once or twice a year we we would train for a 100 mile race so we would call those are called senty by the way Century rights with a gastric sleeve he he he was faster than me I don’t have the
Surgery he would be better than me he would the endurance all around and that goes exactly for patients who like to do marathons or get into the running atmosphere uh can you run a marathon the answer is yes it’s not a problem but doctor I would really like to know types
Of food or how about the energy no you’ll be able to do exactly as a uh what a non-sle patient does while they’re running a marathon or a century ride or ultramarathon Runners normally these types of athletes you consume very small quantities of food throughout the race those types of small quantity foods
Like uh protein bar or some carbs or you’re able to do that with a gastric sleeve without a problem so to get back to the question can you run a marathon with a gastric sleeve the answer is yes please don’t miss interpret this that once you get a gastric sleeve right away
You can go run a marathon or at even before you’ve recovered all right recover you train you work out you get to that point second question is I want to know how to do vitamins should I do them in a gummy form should I should I
Do them in a patch should I do them just regular well the truth is uh you can do all three but there are some timings like right after surgery we don’t recommend you do regular pills or regular big horse pills which normally vitamins or regular vitamins are big so
Leaves us with two options can you do gummies and can you do patches the answer is yes we actually advise patients the first 3 to four months you start doing gummy vitamins uh that way you you’re chewing them they disintegrate once they reach the sleeve they’re so small they they don’t bother
You at all so that’s the gummies after can you do regular vitamins after 4 months the answer is yes you can definitely at some point switch over to regular vitamins leaves us with the patch can I do the patch yes you can do the patch but patch doing vitamins as a patch is
It is the most expensive way to doing vitamins do you need to do a patch the answer is no Some people prefer it because you just stick it on just forget but uh the truth is you’re using your skin to absorb to absorb those nutrients those those those vitamins where you can
Use your gut remember in the gastric sleeve we don’t touch the intestine it is untouched so why not use your gut to absorb the nutrients and you’re doing the most expensive way of doing vitamins which is Through Your Skin just a thought and our third question is um can
I get a massage after surgery and if so when the answer is whenever you’re ready just just be careful on laying on your stomach and let professional know that’s doing your massage that you just had surgery in our practice my patients go to the spa our spa the next day and of
Course they let uh the the the girls know that that are doing the massage that they just had surgery so they know how to treat them so um just let the professional know that’s doing your uh massage that let them know that you just had surgery that way they’re extra
Careful on the pressure on the pressure point and how they’re laying you on that bed all right so there you have it that is it for episode 230 of the Asar show hey do you like the content if you can leave me one of these I am grateful
