It does not: The current studies do not support the typical patient statement :"i can't lose weight because it hurts too much to exercise ." first, even after a successful surgery, there is no significant weight loss for most overweight patients. Calorie intake plays the most important role in terms of weight control while exercise plays a role in physical conditioning and fitness.
