Learning To Be Healthy After Surgery

Post surgery includes learning healthy habits about eating, exercises and a health lifestyle, says Dr. Anthony Gonzalez, Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at South Miami Hospital. After a procedure, people have to understand that they act and eat differently, Dr. Gonzalez affirms and also adds people have to go to the gym and take time for themselves. Surgery can be a diabetes cure, but it depends on the patient's BMI, the operation and how long he has had the disease.
