Summary

For the growing number of severely obese individuals, there are currently few effective long-term weight control options with the exception of bariatric surgery. However, behavioral factors including low physical activity can undermine successful surgical outcomes. This study will compare the effects of a behavioral physical activity intervention with a standard care control condition on changes in physical activity among inactive adult bariatric surgery patients.

  • Weight Loss
  • Health-related Quality of Life

Intervention to increase physical activity
