Dr. V: Why you shouldn't exercise after WLS



Recommended Posts

At least from surgery to 6 months. He does make sense, but when I look back at my first surgery when I exercised daily (no Sundays) and lost 100 in six months. I just wanted to know what you all think of this.

I have watched other videos by him and they usually make perfect sense.

Isn't this the guy who screwed someone out of a free lapband? And then moved from TX to IL to NM? And has been accused of doing surgeries on people who shouldn't have had them?

After reading your post I decided to search the web and see what I could find. There are no "news" stories about DR. V, all I could find was hearsay or websites people put up on their own to express their feelings. Nothing substantiated.

That's fair. I was only basing it on some of the things I read on the forums here.

I have watched a few of his videos and I think it is up to the viewer to decide what they believe. I for sure don't buy into everything he says. Thank-you for responding!

Last time I looked at his youtube channel and Facebook page he was spruiking about MLM products and he was trying to recruit sellers. Some of the major speakers at a conference he was organising at that time were major players in the MLM world. Haven't been back to look since.

My surgeons plan - Walking right after surgery to help the healing process. Then released to do more after a month. (They would like to see patients walking for an hour 4/5 days a week)

Here is my problem with waiting for six months (only my opinion) Exercise with bariatric diet complimented my weight loss. I got to goal in six months. Would I have lost at this rate if I waited? IDK

I can see not going overboard but I think the first 6 months is important for forming habits. I backed off on the amount of weight I lifted, rode the bike or treadmill at a slower pace etc.

I'm always on the fence about endorsing a sedentary lifestyle, it's rubbish to your health

So many people have said it so very well so I'll just leave encouraging words here

I think it depends on the person as well. I do see his points. I like his videos, but when I had my band I started walking after a month and kept it up and increased as time went on and was totally fine. Lost all my weight in 9 months. I was SO freaking happy. Plan on listening to my doc and my body this time around as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
