Good pre-surgery preparations can contribute to a better recovery experience By Azra Shuib | November 5th, 2021 If you are scheduled for surgery, you should know that the right preparation steps in the days or weeks before can increase the chances of a successful outcome. In fact, adopting a healthier lifestyle early before the scheduled date can boost recovery post-surgery. Here are some tips to get healthier ahead of your surgery. Tip #1 - Eat a healthy diet In weeks or months leading up to the surgery, eat foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals, as overall inflammation can stem from your diet. You should focus more on consuming sufficient fruits and vegetables daily. Foods like red meat, processed foods and others that are difficult to break down should be avoided in large portions, as this type of diet can increase inflammatory markers as your body prepares for a shock that is coming. Your pre-surgery diet should comprise of: Fruits and vegetables. They help to maintain weight, increase energy, promote healing and are rich in vitamin C, which is important in recovery as it promotes collagen production. Slow carbohydrates like rice and pasta. They enhance digestion, which is critical prior to acute medical treatments since bodily suspension during surgery causes constipation. Fast carbs also aid in mood improvement and stimulate the creation of serotonin, also known as the "happiness hormone," which can be hindered by a lack of motor activity and exercise. Proteins. They help the muscles which will be inactive for a few weeks after the surgery since you would need to rest. Good sources of proteins are chicken, fish, eggs and seafood. Apart from that, you should watch the supplements you are taking prior to surgery. Reduce or stop taking vitamin E, omega 3 supplements as they can thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. If you are on any medications, you should consult with the doctor before stopping them. Tip #2 - Exercise regularly By being more active prior to surgery, you can increase the chances of walking sooner after the surgery. You do not need to jump straight into doing vigorous exercises if you are not used to it, as this may lead to injury. Instead, target 5,000 to 10,000 steps daily to increase stamina.  Besides that, there are two types of exercises you can try; anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise, commonly known as weight or strength training, helps you burn calories quicker by increasing bone density and muscle mass in your body. Aerobic exercise, which includes activities like swimming and jogging, burns calories by building endurance and strengthening heart and lung capacity. Tip #3 - Get enough sleep A healthy diet and active lifestyle should be complemented with enough slumber. It is the chance for your body to heal itself, and one of the necessary steps to cure all illnesses. Target 8 hours of sleep every night to let your body recover and strengthen the immune system. You can get enough sleep by going to sleep at the same time each night, and getting up at the same time each morning. Besides that, refrain from caffeine and alcohol late in the day, avoid nicotine and unplug from your devices at least 1 hour before bedtime. Tip #4 - Kick unhealthy habits The time you have before surgery is a good time to quit smoking and drinking. In a few days before surgery, alcohol and smoking can affect the anesthesia. Therefore, to increase the surgery’s effectiveness and safety, you should kick unhealthy habits immediately and engage in healthier, stress-relieving activities. This can be a daily morning walk, meditation or simple body stretches to boost your overall health. Tip #5 - Ensure your underlying conditions are controlled Doctors would ask you about your medical history, which you should always answer honestly. You may also need to undergo some medical tests and submit previous health records. Ensure that underlying conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and other conditions are under control by following the doctor’s advice - and it’s necessary to be reminded that going to surgery while you are feeling sick is not a good idea. Tip #6 - Plan your journey ahead If you are getting your treatments far from home or even overseas, you should plan your journey ahead of time. Give ample time for you to get comfortable at the hotel or the location, and give enough days or weeks to recover at the destination. Going elsewhere for surgery is also a brilliant opportunity to rest in private and avoid chores at home; so give yourself enough time to enjoy your medical getaway. For better preparation, book your treatment ahead of time and conveniently through Trambellir. Our affiliated medical institutions in popular destinations are safe and provide high-quality care.

Is it true that massages don’t only make the muscles feel better? By Afrina Ghazali | October 29th, 2021 Massages have been discovered over 3,000 years ago as a traditional method especially to ease muscle sores and injured bodies. Until today, it is still very well known everywhere in rural and urban areas, especially in the Southern East Asian countries.  Growing up in one of the Asian countries, I could not count the number of times I have visited masseuses for traditional massages back in my village; from having a minor sprain, to twisting my back to having a high fever, it is widely believed here that massage could greatly help in a lot of illnesses. The majority of athletes, too, depend on massage guns to loosen up some strained muscles. But how far can massages help? Did you think that massages could only make your muscles ease and feel better? Well, you may want to think again because of a new study in mice from researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John Al. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has recently confirmed other benefits of mechanotherapy and immunotherapy and their relation to muscle regeneration. A core faculty member and a postdoctoral fellow of Dr Dave Mooney, Bo Ri Seo said, “Many people are trying to study the beneficial effects of massage and other mechanical therapies on the body, but until now they have not been done in a systematic and reproducible way. Our work is mechanical stimulation and immune function. It can also be used in patients with illnesses that promise regeneration of various tissues such as bones, tendons, hair and skin and interfere with the use of drug-based interventions.” How was it experimented? This study has been under investigation on the effects of mechanotherapy on injured mice since a few years ago by Seo and her co-authors. Published in Science Translational Medicine, the research was conducted using a custom-designed, soft-interface robotic system called a mechanical load, ML, acting as a massage tool that delivered consistent and fixable forces to mice’s muscles.  Image from Seo et. al. Science Translational Medicine (2021) ML, is a specialised robotic device equipped with real-time force control that uses sensors and actuators for monitoring and controlling purposes. It’s developed with built-in compatibility of ultrasound imaging for tissue strain analysis as shown above. The experiment was found effective in the process of muscle fibre regeneration enhancement. What is the science behind it? Upon the exertion of controlled and compressive force produced by the robotic system, ML, some reactions are shown by the mice, the reactions are believed to be in a patterned flow: 1. Proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines reduction: The detailed biological assessment was made to analyze various inflammation-related factors such as cytokines and chemokines; which are often associated with the movement of immune cells. After being massaged for 3 days, cytokines are believed to dramatically reduce in the treated muscles. 2. Neutrophils clearance: Neutrophils are immune cells that play an important role in the inflammatory process. The study shows a decrease in neutrophil infiltration and researchers had the premonition that the exerted force produced by ML would somehow release the neutrophils and cytokines from the damaged tissues. Fluorescent molecules were injected into the muscles to confirm the theory. It observed the reactions of the muscles upon the exertion of force from ML. 3. Improved composition and function: The treated and untreated mice were observed 14 days after the injury; Seo and her colleague witnessed type IIX fibres in healthy and treated mice, while the untreated ones had an increased number of IIA fibres.  The differences explained the increased fibre size and the production of greater force with greater strength recovery in the treated muscles as noticed in  IIX fibres. Conclusion to the finding According to Paul A. of SEAS, “These findings are noteworthy because they show that they can affect the functioning of the body’s immune system in a non-invasive manner without the use of drugs.” A professor in SEAS, Robert P. Pincus Family, had also commented, “Although the fields of mechanotherapy and immunotherapy rarely interact, this study considers both physical and biological factors when studying and working to improve human health. It proves how important this is.” This study has scientifically proven and concluded that, although massages are mostly noted as a traditional approach to recoveries, the study shows and explains how the body improves over massages that most of us have yet to recognize.  Sure, there are other approaches to directly deliver what your body needs but we also believe that there isn’t any harm in trying other alternatives, which in this case is specifying messages without having the need to use any drugs or what could be foreign to the body.  There are selectable options of massage therapy to choose from; some may use other tools such as bamboo or warm stone, some use aromatherapy oil to relax and tune in your hormones and some would simply force using bare hands. Whichever one you choose, we are sure it will help you feel better.

Breast cancer can be every woman’s nightmare By Afrina Ghazali | October 23rd, 2021 On average, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women. It could occur in both men and women but it’s far more common in women. Although it can be scary, many women are still not aware of the importance of Breast Checkups. October is very well known as Breast Cancer Awareness month and sometimes is referred to as Pinktober. It is a worldwide campaign that aims to raise awareness and channel support for any women who have been affected by breast cancer. The campaign takes place every year throughout the entire month of October. Over the years of the successful Pinktober campaigns, it is said that survival rates for breast cancer have increased due to the advancements in early detection and treatment. The disease's death rate has also declined due to improved understanding of the disease. Why is it important to get checked? Some people think it’s only important to get a routine check for those who have had family histories of breast cancers. But this is exactly why this awareness month was first campaigned. It’s important for every woman to get checked as risks of getting breast cancer can be reduced, especially for early detected cases. This is because early-stage cancers are easier to treat and with higher survival rates. It is believed that routine screening can help. Did you know that it only takes around 10 minutes to screen for breast cancer using mammography? What could cause breast cancer? Doctors and researchers believe that apart from hormonal factors, lifestyle and environment can also be the contributing factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. It's widely believed that several thousand cases of breast cancer are linked to inherited gene mutations.  What are the risk factors of breast cancer? Some of the breast cancer risk factors include:  Female: Men are not likely to get breast cancer Age: The risks increase as increasing age Personal history: If you’ve previously had breast cancer or if any of your family members had been diagnosed with breast cancer, risk of you getting it is higher Radiation exposure: Radiation treatments or surroundings can increase the chance of breast cancer Obesity: Obese people have more tendency to get breast cancer Never been pregnant: Those who have never been pregnant have a greater risk Breast cancer risk factors increase the likelihood of getting breast cancer. But having multiple risk factors does not mean that you will get breast cancer.   What are the signs of breast cancer? It is still unclear why and who would be at risk of breast cancer but it is likely that it could be caused by complex interaction between your body cells and the environment. Some early signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include:  A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue  Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast  Changes to the skin over the breast such as dimpling  A newly inverted nipple  Peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple  Redness or pitting of the skin over the breast If you find a lump or change in your breast even after a recent mammogram, you should see a doctor right away.   Woman health checkup in Singapore      Woman health checkup in Bangkok.        Woman health checkup in KL     You might also like  …

A way to reframe the subconscious mind By Azra Shuib | October 1st, 2021 As normal human beings, we can’t run away from stress. There are 2 types of stress, good stress and bad stress. Good stress drives you to excel and meet your goals, while bad stress is completely the opposite. It hinders you from making sound judgement and interferes with daily life. What happens when you are stressed Physiologically, when stress happens, the body goes into a fight or flight response. The reproductive system, the immune system and the digestive system are put on hold to save energy, and the cortisol hormone (stress hormone) is released in larger quantities to help with increasing the metabolism of glucose. When cortisol is left too long in the bloodstream, it can harm the body, leading to weight gain, blood sugar imbalance, fertility problems and decreased immune function. Some other effects of stress include: · Tense muscles · Headaches · Sleeping problems · Fatigue · Changes in appetite Yoga and exercise are proven ways to reduce stress, but not everybody can or prefer to do them. Hypnosis is a much more relaxed method; it does not require intense activities or invasive measures.  Hypnosis is a safe treatment that allows you to enter a state of deep relaxation, where the subconscious mind is more open to new ideas. This way, the hypnotherapist can ‘suggest’ different ways of responding to stress in your subconscious. Our subconscious mind works without us realizing it, thus helping us to change our mindset and behaviours from within. What happens during Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy is a powerful procedure performed to connect and integrate with what you have manifested and to release what is no longer serving you. The treatment helps you to consciously understand your inner soul and be your authentic self.  During a Hypnotherapy session, the procedure involves a meditative state of deep focus and concentration to connect with the blueprints, negative belief systems, and triggers that are stored in your subconscious mind in order to release them. Some patients will see improvements after just 1 session, while others may require more sessions, depending on each individual’s needs. Hypnotherapy can be helpful for short-term stress, for instance, if you have a big presentation coming up, the therapy is able to help frame your mind to respond in a more relaxed way. With regular sessions, you can expect reduced stress and an increase in self-esteem and a good mood. With a stronger mind, it can also help you to increase confidence to say ‘no’ or set boundaries with people for your own mental health.

The potential risk of liver diseases and how we can prevent it By Kath Wong | August 27th, 2021 Every part of our body has its own importance in keeping us well and healthy; however, there are some parts of the body such as the liver that we might have neglected and never paying much attention to them.  What You Should Know About Liver Liver is the largest organ in the body, weighing approximately 3 pounds with a dark reddish-brown color and located on the upper right portion of the abdominal cavity. The liver holds about 1 pint (13%) of the whole body’s blood supply; there are 2 distinct sources of blood supply for the liver: oxygenated blood flowing in from the hepatic artery, and nutrient-rich blood flowing in from the hepatic portal vein.  The regulation of most chemical levels in the blood is done in the liver and a product called bile would be excreted, which helps to carry away waste products from the liver. All the blood from stomach and intestines passes through the liver for processing such as breaking down substances, balancing, creating nutrients, as well as metabolizing drugs into the forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body.  The liver has been identified to have more than 500 vital functions, some of the well-known roles include:  · Bile production for carrying away waste and breaking down of fats · Production of certain proteins for blood plasma · Formation of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body · Balancing of glucose level by converting excess glucose into glycogen for storage, and back to glucose for energy later on · Regulating blood levels of amino acids · Storing of iron and processing for haemoglobin activate the use of its iron content · Converting poisonous ammonia to urea  · Blood clotting regulation · Clearing blood from drugs and other poisonous substances · Resisting infections by creating immune factors and eliminating bacteria from bloodstream · Clearing of bilirubin Once the liver has successfully broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into either the bile or blood; the by-products in bile would enter the intestine and leave the body by feces whereas in blood the by-products would be filtered out by the kidneys, which then leave the body by urine.  The Common Liver Diseases There are many kinds of liver diseases, the most common ones are diseases caused by viruses (hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C), drugs, poisons, as well as alcohol. Although the liver has a remarkable ability to repair on its own, long-term damage to the liver can eventually accumulate and lead to liver cancer. The symptoms of liver disease can vary depending on the infection, but they often include swelling of the abdomen and legs, bruising easily, changes in color of urine and stool, and jaundice. Jaundice is the visible yellowing of skin and eyes; sometimes there may be no symptoms at all, hence it is important to schedule a regular liver health screening and to keep track of the antigens and antibodies in the body.  Ways To Prevent Liver Diseases Liver does the hard work daily to regulate and maintain our body health; it is recommended to go for an annual liver function test or liver cancer screening. The tests and screenings are done to determine hepatitis virus antigens and antibodies, as well as to observe any abnormality present at the liver.  As mentioned from the main causes of liver infection, we know that frequent drugs or alcohol consumption can damage and affect the normal liver functions, avoiding them would be the best thing you could do. For the virus infection, different types of hepatitis have their own medium of spreading. Hepatitis A can spread commonly by feces and bodily fluids; a person infected is most likely to spread the disease during the 2 weeks before symptoms begin; young children can spread the virus in their stool for up to 3 months after infection. Hepatitis B can spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from an infected person enters the body; It can cause scarring of the organ, liver failure, and also cancer. Hepatitis C spreads by blood and the liver can become seriously damaged due to inflammation; people often have mild to no symptoms during the initial infection, occasionally fever, dark urine, abdominal pain, and yellow tinged skin.  While there is no vaccine for hepatitis C, fortunately, hepatitis A and B can be prevented by vaccinations. If you are at or traveling to Bangkok (Thailand), check this Liver Health Screening Package out https://trambellir.com/treatment/liver-health-screening-sikarin-hospital-bangkok .

Flaunt your backside. By Azra Shuib | August 13th, 2021 Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a fat-grafting surgery that can alter the size, shape and contour of your buttocks. Technically known as a gluteoplasty, it adds volume to your buttocks, shapes it into curvaceousness and gives you the roundly proportionate body you deserve, while at the same time shaping other important parts of your body into slimness. The surgery doesn’t just make your behind bigger, but can also help your stomach, flanks and/or thighs smaller. A drooping butt can also be fixed with this simple and minimally-invasive procedure. The characteristic of the “Brazilian” butt lift is that it allows you to slim down your hips or/and abdomen while you pursue your ideal butt. The fat transfer procedure leaves no scars and marks. How does the procedure look like? 1. BBL will start with liposuction, where the surgeon will suck fat out from regional fat depositions in the body. 2. The fat collected through liposuction will be centrifuged and enriched with stem cells. 3. The best donor fat cells will be reinjected into the hips, which helps lift the butt. Here are some of the advantages of BBL: ・Better results (no visible marks due to micro entries) ・Safer (natural materials, no implants) ・Short recovery period (less than 1 week) ・Removes fat from certain parts of the body ・Tighter and more natural result compared to butt implants (Donor fat cells from stem cells are used) ・Contours the body ・Painless Risks in a BBL procedure can get serious if you do it in uncertified clinics. You should look for experienced doctors who have similar beauty philosophies as you do. It's important to only go for it with the ones you trust. You can make an online booking of BBL procedure easily in our website. BBL entails many risks if done by inexperienced doctors, but by booking with Trambellir, you won’t have to worry about the issue. We understand your worries and needs for fuss-free traveling, so we only offer you the best. However, just like in any procedure, you should take precautions and follow your doctor’s advice. Some post-care steps include no exercise or any form of pressure to your butt for 1 week after the procedure.

PicoDiscovery Laser: Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation, Pigmentation and Tattoo Removal. By Kath Wong | July 30th, 2021 Skin pigmentation often becomes the main problem to our skin as we are repeatedly exposed to sunlight and it is almost inevitable in our daily lives. Although It is simply the process where the skin is darkened due to excessive melanin (pigmented cells) production, unfortunately, this causes uneven skin tone as pigmentation occurs in the form of various unpleasant spots, such as sunspots, melasma, freckles as well as age spots. While we may think that age spots would only appear as we age, UVA and UVB rays nowadays have the effect to contribute 90% of premature aging - which means it is possible for us to get those spots even when we are still young and feeling intact. It is undeniable that random pigmentation can make us look older and no longer lively as we should be; luckily, there are cosmetic dermatology treatments that can help. One of the treatments available is Discovery Pico medical laser. Discovery PICO Laser (PicoDiscovery Laser) is one of the highly effective laser technology for treating skin issues that are caused by sun damage as well as birthmarks and no-longer-wanted tattoos. How Does It Work? PicoDiscovery Laser, as the name suggests, works within “picosecond”. The skin area that needs to be treated will be targeted with Laser pulses, and this would heat up the deeper layers of the skin where the pigments accumulate. As the pigmented cells absorb the laser light, the light will vibrate and fragmentation will begin to do the key role to break up the targeted particles into thin dust and the overall process will be done in “picosecond” pulses, ensuring lesser time for skin to heat up and lesser risks of hyper-pigmentation (the opposite effect of what we want). Advantages of PicoDiscovery Laser: Safe Simple, fast procedure Comfortable Directly treats the area of concern without damaging other cells Works in "picosecond" pulses Safety & Side Effects: PicoDiscovery Laser is non-invasive as it is a non-surgical treatment. The procedure is safe as it works targeting selected skin area with specific wavelengths, leaving the surrounding area undamaged. With its unique feature of working by picosecond pulses, it is ensured that no further unexpected damage would be done to the skin while undergoing the healing process.

How to stop feeling tired all the time By Azra Shuib | July 16th, 2021 Feeling tired gets more common as people age. After being stuck in a routine every week, you might feel that it's getting easier for you to lose focus and alertness. But just because aging happens, that doesn't mean that you should give in to the crippling weariness. Here's how to fill up your energy tank and get you going vibrantly. 1. Get a health checkup Your unusual tiredness might be a symptom of illnesses. This can include diabetes, anaemia and sleep apnea. If you feel something is off, seeing a doctor ASAP is recommended. Or, get a full health screening to confirm your health is in good condition and to find out what nutrients you're lacking. 2. Exercise This could be the last thing you want to do when your bed has been on your mind. But, physical activities can boost your energy levels and increase oxygen intake - which can help to reduce tiredness tremendously. You don't have to do challenging workouts straight away - simple activities that get you moving like walking or yoga are great options. This can also give you a chance to just go out there and breathe fresh air, and being in a calm surrounding will help alleviate stress. 3. Listen to lively music. Music can greatly affect your mood, improve focus and strengthen learning. So put on stress-relieving music or songs that you like to listen to, and while it's playing, enjoy your time doing work or chilling out. 4. Get enough sleep Go to bed early and avoid scrolling through your phone before sleeping. This is your chance for your body to rest and repair itself from the inside. A good and enough sleep at the right time will improve your overall health, well-being, as well as giving you great energy to start your day. Another important tip is to refrain from doing your work on your bed because your brain will think it's a place to work, and this will reduce the association between bed and sleep. What if you get sleepy during the day? Well, the best relief is to sleep! If you can't take a long sleep, try to take a 10 to 30-minute nap. Experts say that taking a nap in the daytime can boost your mood and increase stamina, among other benefits. 5. Avoid smoking and drinking For the longest time, doctors have been stressing the bad effects of smoking. It's bad for your health and disrupts your energy levels. Nicotine is a stimulant that increases heart rate, which will lead to more tiredness when you don't smoke. So stop smoking - you won't just be healthier, you'll smell better too. Besides that, experts say that it is best to avoid alcohol at lunch or in the afternoon so you won't feel worn out later in the day. In addition, try to control yourself from drinking excessively as this can quicken aging process. 6. You deserve relaxation time for yourself If you feel like you need a short 'me time' or a short getaway to forget about work, then you're most probably right. At times, you need to shift your attention from work to something else so you can come back with a clearer mind. Enjoy your me-time by booking a massage treatment, spa day or lying down by the beach. Getting a beauty drip can also improve your energy levels remarkably. Whatever you choose, just enjoy the moment and forget about your life problems while you're at it. If you are looking for any health checkups, yoga sessions, massage treatments or IV drips, we've got you covered.

Eliminate what's weighing you down By Azra Shuib | July 2nd, 2021 Obese people who cannot achieve weight loss even after exercise and diet may feel devastated with their condition. A lot of people may have had success, only to regain the excess weight in the future. Adding on to the body image issues, obese people are also at higher risks of getting serious diseases. Hence, an intervention that is more effective than a good diet and exercise is needed. For severely obese people, weight loss surgeries can be beneficial in the long term. Not only can these surgeries help in losing weight, they also reduce the risks of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, and acid reflux. Bariatric Surgery Bariatric surgery is a weight-loss surgical procedure that employs particular methods to help reduce the amount of food intake a person can digest. Changes to the digestive system combined with a proper diet can lead to rapid weight loss. Typically, Bariatric Surgery is performed when diet and exercise have not been effective or if a patient has serious health problems caused by being overweight. After the surgery, the patient must follow the provided diet guideline with a dedication to see improvements. Some types of Bariatric Surgery include: Sleeve Gastrectomy In this procedure, a part of the stomach is removed and the remaining section is formed into a tubelike structure. Since the size of the stomach has become smaller, it will not hold as much food and the production of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin will also lessen. Gastric Bypass Surgery Gastric Bypass includes changes to the stomach and small intestine, which will also change the way food is digested. After the surgery, the stomach will become smaller. This aids weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach holds, limiting the number of calories and nutrients the system absorbs and changing the gut hormones that can help patients to feel full longer and reverse obesity-caused metabolic syndrome. Gastric Band Surgery This procedure involves the placement of a silicone device at the top portion of the stomach, intended to limit food consumption. Unlike other procedures, this surgery is reversible. After the surgery, it is required to follow a liquid-only diet with the gradual reintroduction of soft foods. Gastric Balloon Treatment This surgery involves the placement of a saline-filled silicone balloon in the stomach to limit the amount of food intake and to make patients feel full faster. The gastric balloon is not a permanent device, hence a commitment to a healthier lifestyle is needed to maintain the long-term success of the surgery. Gastric Plication This procedure involves creating large folds in the stomach to reduce its size. This surgery is also known as gastric imbrication and greater curvature plication. Getting The Surgery Depending on your condition, the surgeon may put you on a preoperative diet about 2 to 3 weeks prior to surgery. This is intended to shrink the liver and reduce fat in the abdomen, making the procedure safer. It is advisable to wait 12 to 18 months after the procedure to get pregnant. Be reminded that birth control pills do not work as well in patients who are overweight, and may not be effective during the time when your weight is changing. For this reason, please have an IUD or use condoms and spermicide with all intercourse. You can start exercising right after the surgery by taking it slow, such as short walks while in the hospital. As you recover, find a variety of activities that you can do and keep a regular exercising routine to burn off calories and stay healthy. Should You Travel to Get Bariatric Surgery? Bariatric Surgery can be life-changing to many - it provides a means to sustainable weight loss and reduces health risks that come with obesity. The procedure is increasing in popularity and some other countries may offer more competitive prices on top of high-quality healthcare. Plus, being away for surgery and recovery is a good way to recharge and enjoy some privacy.   Our affiliated hospital, Hospital de la Familia in Mexicali, Mexico is renowned for its excellent healthcare and has carved a name in the medical tourism industry.
