Brisk walking for 45 minutes a day is the best exercise for pre-diabetes. But ensure that there is complete healing of surgery.

He can start with basic cardio exercise. The best would be going for walks twice a day. Tell him to keep a target of completing 7k-10k steps every day. Diet is extremely important. He should avoid fried food and sweets. Tell him to start having lemon water 3 times a day or apple cider vinegar. Hope this helps
