Bariatric surgery is a game-changer for physical activity (PA) and social support. In a Swedish study, adults undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) experienced significant improvements in PA levels, including light and total PA and step counts. Additionally, self-reported PA, enjoyment, self-efficacy for exercise, and positive family support all increased. While these gains didn’t lead to a significant rise in moderate to vigorous PA, they do hint at the potential for increased activity post-MBS, enhancing patients’ overall health and well-being.
