This randomized controlled experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of a PHP-MySQL database-based digital follow-up system combined with structured nursing education on quality of life, body mass index (BMI), and exercise habits in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for morbid obesity, long-term success depends largely on adherence to lifestyle modifications, including regular physical activity and sustained behavioral change. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive structured nursing education along with an 8-week digitally monitored exercise program starting at postoperative month four. The control group will receive standard postoperative care. Outcomes will be assessed using the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II (MA-II), BMI measurements, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The study aims to provide evidence for integrating digital health technologies and structured nursing interventions into postoperative bariatric care.
