The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the ultrasonic cavitation versus low level laser therapy in the treatment of abdominal adiposity in female post gastric bypass. Subjects: Sixty female suffering from localized fat deposits at the abdomen of area after gastric bypass. There body mass index ranged from 30 to 39.9kg/m2. They were divided randomly and equally into three groups Group (1): received low level laser therapy plus bicycle exercises and abdominal exercises for three months, Group (2): were received ultrasonic cavitation therapy plus bicycle exercises and abdominal exercises for three months, and Group (3): were received bicycle exercises and abdominal exercises for 3 months. Methods: data were obtained for each patient including waist circumferences, waist hip ratio, skin fold and ultrasonography. Measurements were done after six weeks postoperative (pre- treatment) and after three months from treatment post-treatment. Results: showed a statistically significant difference in waist circumference, skin fold and ultrasonography measurements in the three groups. Post treatment the highly significant difference was observed in Group (1) and Group (2) .Also there was a non-significant difference between Group (1) and Group (2). Conclusion: these results suggested that both low level laser therapy and ultrasonic cavitation had a significant effect on abdominal adiposity after gastric bypass in female
