A Program of Life-Style Modification Improved the Body Weight and Micronutrient Status in Obese Patients after Bariatric Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Bariatric surgery is an efficient approach to rapidly reduce morbid obesity and associated comorbidities. However, approximately one-fourth of patients experience weight and comorbidity recurrence, and both obesity and bariatric surgery can lead to micronutrient deficiencies. Implementing a structured program of lifestyle modification (PLM) might enhance weight loss and improve micronutrient status.

Methodology

Among them, 71 adhered to a PLM involving dietary changes (low- and very-low-calorie Mediterranean diets) and physical exercises (aerobic and resistance training) both before and after surgery, while 50 patients followed a conventional protocol.
