An adjunctive lifestyle program implemented immediately after surgery had no favorable impact upon weight loss and health outcomes.

Secondary outcomes
Secondary outcomes (body composition, physical activity, physical function and strength, HRQoL, depressive symptoms, comorbidities)
- No between-group differences in secondary outcomes
Changes in entire cohort (longitudinal)
- Significant reductions in body weight, fat mass, fat-free mass and BMD at total hip, femoral neck and lumbar spine
- all p < 0.001
- 6-minute walk test, sit-to-stand test, HRQoL and depressive symptoms improved significantly
- all p < 0.001
- Time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary behavior unchanged from before surgery
- both p > 0.05
