This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After weight loss surgery, patients can lose muscle mass and bone density as side effects. This trial is testing whether a supervised exercise program can help prevent these losses and improve overall health. About 54 people will be split into two groups: one doing supervised exercise twice a week for 12 months, and one receiving standard care.
Weight loss surgery can inadvertently weaken muscles and bones as patients lose weight. Doctors want to know if adding exercise after surgery can protect these important tissues and improve quality of life.

If you join the exercise group, you will attend supervised exercise sessions twice a week for 12 months after your surgery. Each session lasts about 50–60 minutes and includes strength training and cardiovascular work on a stationary bike. The control group receives standard hospital follow-up and is encouraged to stay active on their own. Both groups will have measurements taken throughout the year to check muscle strength, bone density, body composition, and quality of life.
