Effects of a 6-month physical activity behavioral intervention in patients following metabolic bariatric surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Promoting habitual physical activity (PA) among bariatric patients is crucial for long-term surgery success, yet it poses a significant challenge for healthcare practitioners.

Objectives: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to examine the effectiveness of a theory-based behavioral intervention on PA level in post-metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) patients.

Setting: University Hospital, Israel METHODS: Forty-four patients undergoing MBS were randomized to the intervention (n = 22) or control group (n = 22).

Weight Loss Outcomes and Lifestyle Patterns Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: an 8-Year Retrospective Study of 212 Patients.

Purpose: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective treatment for extreme obesity; however, long-term weight loss outcomes remain largely understudied. We aimed to examine the long-term weight changes following SG and patient characteristics and lifestyle patterns related to weight loss outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Data from medical records of patients operated in a tertiary university medical center between 2008 and 2014 were reviewed, along with information derived from a telephone questionnaire.

The impact of preoperative vitamin administration on skeletal status following sleeve gastrectomy in young and middle-aged women: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The appropriate strategies to minimize skeletal deterioration following bariatric surgeries are inconclusive. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of preoperative vitamin supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical parameters in females post-sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Methods: Participants were randomized to a 2-month preoperative treatment with a multivitamin and vitamin D 4000 IU/d (intervention arm) or 1200 IU/d (control arm).

Food Addiction and Binge Eating During One Year Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: Prevalence and Implications for Postoperative Outcomes.

Background: Food addiction and binge eating are common among individuals with obesity. However, a paucity of studies prospectively examined the prevalence and implications of food addiction before and post-bariatric surgery. We aimed to examine the prevalence of food addiction and binge eating before and after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and to assess their associations with behavioral and weight loss outcomes.
