Schematic Illustrating Potential Impact of Pre- and Postoperative Physical Activity Counseling versus Standard Care on Patients' Physical Activity

Figure Footnotes:

* Physical activity resulting from standard care based on the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 (20).

** First, preliminary results from the Bari-Active study (6) were applied to preoperative PA data of patients receiving standard care to estimate physical activity (PA) at time of surgery resulting from preoperative PA counseling. Next, postoperative changes in PA resulting from postoperative PA counseling were estimated from RCTs (14, 33), and then applied to estimated physical activity at time of surgery to estimate postoperative PA.
