This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a structured exercise and breathing therapy program can help people who are having weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery) recover better and have fewer problems after their operation. Half of the participants will follow a special exercise and breathing program before and after surgery, while the other half will receive the normal standard care. Researchers want to see if the exercise program reduces complications, helps people go home sooner, and improves how the body heals at a deeper level.
Weight loss surgery can be hard on the body, and some patients develop complications or take a long time to recover. This trial exists to find out whether preparing the body with exercise and breathing training before surgery—and continuing it afterward—could help patients heal faster, avoid serious problems, and improve their overall health outcomes.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or the standard care group. The exercise group will participate in a structured program of physical exercise and breathing therapy before surgery and again after surgery, following a specific schedule set by the research team. The standard care group will receive the hospital's normal pre- and post-operative care without the special exercise program. Both groups will be monitored for recovery, complications, and how quickly they can go home after surgery.
