Abstract
Background: Fatigue with obesity negatively affects the motivation to lose weight and causes failure of treatment. So, obesity and fatigue are two related entities that worsen each other in a vicious circle. This study aimed to examine the changes in fatigue levels in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: Preoperative and postoperative BMI, fat percentage, and obesity degree were determined based on Tanita test results, and the rates of change were calculated. The Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) was used to assess the impact of obesity on mental and physical fatigue. Results: Six months after LSG, there was a 29.7% decrease in Body Mass Index (BMI) across all patients (45.0 to 31.4, p < 0.001). Significant reductions in the percentage of body fat, obesity grade, and HgA1C were observed in both women and men and overall (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Scores on the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) for total, mental, and physical scales decreased significantly for women, men, and all participants (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). There was a weak but significant positive correlation between the percentage change in FAS total and FAS physical scale scores and the change in BMI% (p = 0.015 and 0.004; r = 0.089, 0.106, respectively). Change in obesity grade and FAS physical subscale scores negatively correlated (p = 0.029, r = 0.080). Conclusions: LSG not only leads to significant weight reduction but also improves fatigue levels in patients with obesity.

Obes Surg 2023; 33:3422-3430. [PMID: 37728838 PMCID: PMC10602996 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06796-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrary to the previously known concept of muscle mass decrease following bariatric metabolic surgery, changes in muscle strength have been poorly investigated in systematic reviews. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated changes in handgrip strength (HGS) and lean mass (LM) after undergoing bariatric metabolic surgery. METHODS A systematic literature review using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted in November 2022. Longitudinal studies reporting HGS change after bariatric metabolic surgery were eligible. Pooled estimates for changes in HGS, body mass index (BMI), LM, and fat mass (FM) were calculated. Changes from baseline to the point closest to 6 months postoperatively were analyzed in trials with multiple follow-up examinations. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. RESULTS Three randomized controlled trials and seven prospective cohort studies involving 301 patients were included. Follow-up evaluations were conducted 6 months postoperatively in all trials except for two, whose follow-up visits were at 18 weeks and 12 months, respectively. Pooled analysis showed reduced BMI (- 10.8 kg/m2; 95% confidence interval: - 11.6 to - 9.9 kg/m2), LM (- 7.4 kg; - 9.3 to - 5.4 kg), and FM (- 22.3 kg; - 25.1 to - 19.6 kg) after bariatric metabolic surgery, whereas the change in HGS was not statistically significant (- 0.46 kg; - 1.76 to 0.84 kg). CONCLUSION Despite the decreased body composition parameters, including muscle mass, strength was not impaired after bariatric metabolic surgery; this indicates that bariatric metabolic surgery is an effective weight management intervention that does not compromise strength.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Introduction: the increase on prevalence of obesity has been linked to a higher number of bariatric surgeries, being sleeve gastrectomy (SG) the most frequent bariatric procedures in the world. However, there are few studies that determine the impact of SG on health's determinants such as physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA). Objectives: to describe the changes in PF and PA of patients after SG. Methods: twenty-three women with obesity (mean 36.1 ± 11.1 years old and body mass index [BMI] of 35.1 ± 3.4 kg/m2) were evaluated preoperatively to SG and at one and three months after surgery. An assessment of PF was conducted, including handgrip (HGS) and quadriceps muscle strength (QMS) with dynamometers and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with an ergospirometer. PA was assessed with a three-axis accelerometer. Results: the absolute VO2 peak decreased after the first and third month (p < 0.001) post SG. The VO2 peak relative to body weight showed an increase from baseline after the SG (p = 0.002). After SG, there was a reduction in absolute values for HGS and QMS (p < 0.001) and an increase in relative HGS after three months post-surgery compared to preoperative (p = 0.011), without changes in relative QMS (p = 0.596). No changes in PA were observed. Conclusions: after SG, there is a short term decline on PF when it is expressed on absolute values. However, when it is expressed in relative terms to body weight, some components of PF improve, while others showed no change. There was no modification in PA levels of the participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity leads to impairment of physical activity as measured by an inability to perform activities of daily living. Literature on the effect of bariatric surgery on physical activity is conflicting. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of the effect of bariatric surgery on physical activity from studies employing objective measurement and self-reporting of physical activity before and after bariatric surgery. METHODS Bibliographic databases were searched systematically for relevant literature until December 31, 2018. Studies employing objective and self-reported measurement of physical activity were included. Study quality was assessed using Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies - of Interventions tool. Meta-analysis was performed using random effects model and presented as standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Twenty studies identified 5886 patients suitable for the analysis. Physical activity showed significant improvement at 0-6 months (SMD: .50; 95% CI: .25-.76; P = .0001), >6-12 months (SMD: .58; 95% CI: .26-.91; P = .0004), and >12-36 months (SMD: .82; 95% CI: .27-1.36; P = .004) after bariatric surgery. Self-reported assessment after bariatric surgery showed significant improvement at 0-6 months (SMD: .65; 95% CI: .29-1.01; P = .0004), >6 to 12 months (SMD: .53; 95% CI: .18-.88; P = .003), and >12-36 months (SMD: .51; 95% CI: .46-.55; P < .00001). Objective assessment after bariatric surgery did not show improvement at 0-6 months (SMD: .31; 95%CI:-.05-.66; P = .09), but showed significant improvement at >6-12 months (SMD: .85; 95% CI:-.07-1.62; P = .03), and >12-36 months (SMD: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.13-2.86; P < .00001) after bariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery improves physical activity significantly in a population with obesity up to 3 years after surgery. Objective measurement of physical activity does not show significant improvement within 6 months of bariatric surgery but begins to improve at >6 months. Self-reported measurement of physical activity begins to show improvement within 6 months of a bariatric procedure.
