In recent years, bariatric surgery has become an increasingly popular option for those looking to lose weight and improve their overall health. However, the long-term success of bariatric surgery is dependent on the patient’s ability to maintain their weight loss. A new study published in the journal has examined the associations between changes in physical activity and sedentary time with weight recurrence after bariatric surgery.

The study included a total of 545 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2009 and 2014. The participants were followed for five years after their surgery, and their physical activity and sedentary time were assessed at baseline and at one, three, and five years after surgery. The researchers found that those who increased their physical activity and decreased their sedentary time over the five-year period were less likely to experience weight recurrence.

The study found that those who increased their physical activity by at least 30 minutes per day were less likely to experience weight recurrence than those who did not increase their physical activity. Similarly, those who decreased their sedentary time by at least 30 minutes per day were also less likely to experience weight recurrence.

The study also found that those who increased their physical activity and decreased their sedentary time were more likely to maintain their over the five-year period. This suggests that physical activity and sedentary time may be important factors in the long-term success of bariatric surgery.

The findings of this study suggest that physical activity and sedentary time may be important factors in the long-term success of bariatric surgery. Increasing physical activity and decreasing sedentary time may help to prevent weight recurrence after bariatric surgery. Therefore, it is important for those who have undergone bariatric surgery to make lifestyle changes that include increasing physical activity and decreasing sedentary time in order to maintain their weight loss.
