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 .
Changes in enjoyment, self-efficacy, and motivation during a randomized trial to promote habitual physical activity adoption in bariatric surgery patients.
BACKGROUND The Bari-Active trial found that a physical activity ( PA ) intervention ( PAI ) , versus st and ard presurgical care control ( SC ) , produced significant increases in daily bout-related moderate-to-vigorous PA ( MVPA , in≥10-min bouts ) preoperatively . The present study examined whether PAI also produces superior improvements in psychological and /or motivational processes that may be important for PA adoption . OBJECTIVES Compare PAI and SC on baseline to postintervention changes in PA-related enjoyment , self-efficacy , and motivations , and examine whether greater bout-related MVPA changes are associated with greater improvements in these variables . SETTING University hospital , United States . METHODS Participants ( 87 % female ; body mass index = 45.0±6.5 kg/m(2 ) ) were r and omly assigned to 6 weeks of PAI ( n = 40 ) or SC ( n = 35 ) . PAI received weekly counseling sessions to increase daily walking exercise . At baseline and postintervention , both groups completed 7-day objective PA monitoring and question naires to evaluate changes in bout-related MVPA and PA enjoyment , self-efficacy , and motivation . RESULTS Retention was 84 % at postintervention . Intent-to-treat analyses showed that PAI on average reported more favorable changes than SC in PA enjoyment , self-efficacy , amotivation ( i.e. , lack of PA motivation ) , and identified and intrinsic regulations ( i.e. , more autonomous PA motivations ; P<.01 ) . In PAI completers ( n = 33 ) , changes in bout-related MVPA and psychological/motivational variables were unrelated . CONCLUSION PAI produced greater improvements in PA-related enjoyment , self-efficacy , and motivations  than SC . The lack of association between objective ly measured PA changes and psychological/motivational processes highlights the need for future research to identify which processes are most important for PA adoption and maintenance in bariatric surgery patients , and to determine whether the method used to measure PA affects the pattern of association
