Based on recent scientific data\, maintaining a good postoperative outcome requires interdisciplinary follow-up of the patient after surgery in order to sustain weight loss and reduce the risk of lean body mass loss. The dietary guidelines provided to patients\, as well as the exercise instructions and protocols applied both pre- and post-operatively\, will be presented and discussed. Particular emphasis is also placed on the distinction between compliance and adherence to therapeutic recommendations\, as adherence does not involve the passive acceptance of instructions but rather the active participation of the individual with obesity in decision-making\, the co-creation of achievable goals\, and the joint agreement on an intervention plan that reflects their needs\, capacities\, and priorities. From this perspective\, the therapeutic alliance is substantially strengthened\, creating more favorable conditions for the long-term maintenance of lifestyle changes. In this light\, it is argued that an interdisciplinary\, rather than merely multidisciplinary team\, constitutes the most appropriate and effective approach for the management of morbid obesity. \n  \n
