Nevertheless, even though physical activity is recommended to optimize bariatric surgery results. Very little is known, about whether engaging in an exercise program after surgery can provide additional improvement in health outcomes. While to date there are relatively few researches studied the effect of exercise in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
