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 .
Impact of Aerobic Exercise Training on Heart Rate Variability and Functional Capacity in Obese Women After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Background Obesity is a major public health concern on a global scale . Bariatric surgery is among the treatment options , result ing in significant and sustainable weight loss as well as amelioration of comorbidities . The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a 12-week aerobic exercise program positively impacts heart rate variability ( HRV ) and functional capacity after gastric  bypass surgery ( GBS ) in a female cohort . Methods Of the 52 patients initially recruited , 21 were r and omized to a training group ( TG ) or control group and successfully completed the study . Patients were tested on two occasions : 1 week before GBS and 4 months after GBS . Anthropometric variables , body composition , record of heart rate and R-R intervals , and 6-min walk test ( 6MWT ) were assessed at both time points . The TG underwent an aerobic exercise training program on a treadmill ( 1-h session , totaling 36 sessions over 12 weeks ) . Results The main findings from this study were : ( 1 ) only the TG demonstrated a significant increase ( p < 0.05 ) in all indexes of heart rate variability ( HRV ) after 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training and ( 2 ) only the TG demonstrated a significant increase ( p < 0.05 ) in 6MWT distance and decrease in diastolic blood pressure after aerobic exercise training . Conclusions We conclude that 12 weeks of aerobic exercise training improves cardiac autonomic modulation and functional capacity 4 months after GBS
