Identifying Lifestyle Patterns in Patients 5+ Years After Bariatric Surgery

The study delves into the behaviors of patients who had metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) more than 5 years ago.

These findings underscore the need for continued clinical support for long-term MBS patients to maintain healthier postoperative lifestyles.
