No relationship was identified between changes in weight and walking performance post-surgery .
Although physical activity performed after bariatric surgery is associated with enhanced weight loss outcomes , there is limited information on patients ' physical activity behaviour in this context .
This systematic review and meta- analysis assessed pre-operative to post-operative changes in physical activity and physical function outcomes among obese adults undergoing bariatric surgery .
Serum Cholesterol by Morbidly Obese Patients after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Additional Physical Activity
Background  Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ( LSG )  has shown to be effective in serum triglycerides reduction and HDL cholesterol increase , but with little effect on total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol .  Physical activity is recognized as an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce body fat mass and hypercholesterolemia . Methods A prospect i ve observational study of all the patients undergoing LSG as bariatric technique between 2007 and 2012 was performed . All patients completed the Spanish Version of the Modifiable Physical Activity Question naire at two time points : baseline ( pre-intervention ) and 1 year after surgery , both in face-to-face interviews . Lipid profiles were monitored at the same time points . Results A total of 50 patients were included in the study , 44 females ( 88 % ) and six males ( 12 % ) with a mean age of 42.7 ± 10.3 years . Comorbidities included dyslipidemia in 50 % ( 40 % hypercholesterolemia and 10 % hypertriglyceridemia ) . Preoperatively , four patients ( 8 % ) reported moderately active physical activity and one patient ( 2 % ) active physical exercise . The rest of the patients were sedentary . One year after surgery , 30 patients ( 60 % ) performed any kind of active physical activity , while the rest were sedentary . Lipid profile 12 months after surgery showed significantly lower total cholesterol levels in the active group ( 182.8 mg/dl vs 220 mg/dl in the sedentary group ; p = 0.003 ) . LDL cholesterol levels were also lower in the active group ( 103.2 vs 133 mg/dl in the sedentary group ; p = 0.015 ) . Conclusion The performance of routine moderate physical activity in addition to LSG achieves a significant improvement in all parameters of the lipid profile
