Discovery of Cushing's Syndrome After Bariatric Surgery: Multicenter Series of 16 Patients.

abstract：:Severe obesity has been associated with adverse effects on physical capacity. In a prospective study, the aerobic capacity of severely obese patients was measured in order to observe the physiological response to weight loss from bariatric surgery.
