Adhering to a consistent exercise program is also necessary to lose the excess weight and maintain the results.
Proper exercise has been shown to help patients lose more excess weight after surgery as well as retain more muscle mass during the period of rapid weight loss that typically occurs initially after surgery.
Preserving muscle mass is essential to maintaining a high metabolic rate, thus reducing the amount of fat present.
In addition, engaging in routine physical activity, including muscle-strengthening exercises, helps reduce the amount of excess skin that some patients experience after losing a major amount of weight.
