Development of a Weight Maintenance Intervention for Bariatric Surgery Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity, Morbid

In brief

Although bariatric surgery is highly effective for inducing significant weight loss and resolution of comorbidities, weight regain following surgery is a common problem. This pilot study will test the feasibility and acceptability of an intervention designed to help bariatric surgery patients maintain weight loss. Findings from this pilot will provide the foundation for a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.
