Quote: “Exercise is important, even after bariatric surgery.”
“Bariatric surgery is becoming a mainstream method of treating obesity. Despite the many risks of surgery, thousands of Americans undergo the procedure every year. Several different types of bariatric surgery exist, but they all involve altering the digestive tract to reduce food intake and nutrient absorption. Although the surgery generally results in drastic weight loss, experts agree that those who undergo bariatric surgery should be highly physically active to maintain weight loss and overall health after the procedure.”
