Patient Empowerment for Lifestyle Changes in Metabolic-Bariatric Surgery—A German Nationwide Survey
Overall willingness towards an increase in physical activity after MBS is present. However, stigma and pain during sports or the inability to perform certain sports seem to be the main issue keeping patients away from physical activity. We suggest clinical trials towards training protocols in small groups of 6-10 people, aqua, walking, or biking sports, and specialized training protocols for MBS patients.
