Exercise Is Key to Sustaining Metabolic Gains After Bariatric Surgery
Bruno Gualano, John P. Kirwan, Hamilton Roschel
Abstract
The extent to which the benefits of bariatric surgery may be maintained by lifestyle changes after surgery is unclear. Our hypothesis is that exercise may sustain some metabolic benefits and counteract some of the adverse effects of surgery. In this review, we present findings supporting the proposition that exercise is key to improving overall health in patients after bariatric surgery.
