Preoperative and post-operative intensive interventions improved symptoms of depression and anxiety , quality of life , diastolic blood pressure , and resting heart rate but not lipids or glycaemic measures .
This systematic review and meta- analysis of intervention studies aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative and /or post-operative support for adults who elect bariatric surgery delivered by a multidisciplinary team ( MDT )  on post-operative body composition , mental health , co-morbidities , quality of life , and side effects .
A randomized trial comparing two interventions to increase physical activity among patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of two levels of physical activity interventions before and up to 6½ months after bariatric surgery . METHODS Before surgery , individuals completed submaximal exercise testing on a treadmill . After r and om assignment to st and ard care , pedometer use , or exercise counseling plus pedometer , participants wore an accelerometer for approximately 2 weeks and returned it to the bariatric center before surgery and 2 , 4 , and 6 months postoperatively . RESULTS Individuals in exercise counseling plus pedometer had higher steps per day and bout minutes of exercise per week than st and ard care and pedometer use over the course of the study . There were no group differences related to exercise tolerance ; however , all groups made significant improvement . There was no statistically significant change in sedentary or light activity nor was there a difference between groups . CONCLUSIONS Exercise counseling using pedometers increases physical activity from the perioperative period to 6½ months after surgery , but providing pedometers without professional feedback may not be more effective than st and ard bariatric surgery treatments . Rapid weight loss increases exercise tolerance and may mask the fitness improvements achieved through a modest physical activity intervention during the first 6 months after bariatric surgery
