What this research studies
This program offers a special type of behavioral support, delivered remotely, for individuals who have had weight-loss surgery but are experiencing some weight regain. We want to see if this acceptance-based approach can help you manage your weight better. It also looks at how this support might improve your eating habits, increase physical activity, and positively affect other health conditions. We will also explore how this program works to help people make lasting changes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals who had bariatric surgery 6 to 48 months ago and have regained more than 5% of their lowest post-surgery weight.
Not a fit: Patients who have not had bariatric surgery or are not experiencing weight regain may not find this program suitable.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could provide a new, accessible way for patients to maintain the health benefits of their bariatric surgery long-term.
How similar studies have performed: While this specific acceptance-based approach for post-bariatric weight regain is innovative, behavioral interventions have shown promise in weight management generally.
