Abstract

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients report significant pre- to post-surgery increases in physical activity (PA). Conversely, objectively assessed PA does not increase after RYGB. The aim of the study was to compare self-reported and accelerometer-measured changes in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and exercise from pre- to post-surgery, in women undergoing RYGB.

Methods: Forty-three women with an average pre-surgery body mass index of 39.2 kg/m2 (SD 3.1) were recruited at Swedish hospitals. PA was measured by the Actigraph GT3X+ and by a previously validated short PA questionnaire, at home visits 3 months before and 9 months after surgery, thus limiting seasonal effects.

Results: Self-reported time spent in exercise increased with 75 % and time spent in MVPA increased with 51 %, whereas accelerometer-assessed time spent in exercise increased with 0.9 % and time spent in MVPA increased with 2.1 %, from before to after surgery. Correlations comparing accelerometers with the questionnaire were 0.35 (P = 0.02) for MVPA and 0.13 (P = 0.4) for exercise before RYGB and 0.52 (P ≤ 0.001) for MVPA and 0.12 (P = 0.4) for exercise after RYGB.

Conclusions: Pre- to post-RYGB surgery increases in self-reported PA were not confirmed by accelerometer-measured PA. Thus, health care workers should use objective measures of PA in patients undergoing RYGB, in order to assess whether patients achieve sufficient levels of PA.
