ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how starting and continuing physical activity soon after bariatric surgery (a type of surgery for weight loss) can help with recovery and manage pain. The researchers want to see how this early mobilization affects patients' experiences, their ability to handle pain, how well they can move, and their overall quality of life after surgery.

To be part of this study, participants should be between the ages of 18 to 65 and able to read and understand Danish. Some people, like those who need walking aids before surgery, have serious vision problems, or have had serious complications after surgery, won't be able to join. If you participate, you can expect to engage in supervised physical activities that start soon after your surgery, which may help you recover better and feel less pain.
