Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a group treatment program for individuals experiencing weight regain after bariatric surgery and to evaluate the effectiveness of the group treatment program.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery

    The overall goal of the project is to collect pilot data for a RO1 application. The primary outcome will be kg lost and BMI units lost from pre- to post-treatment. The effect size (Mean1 - Mean2 / pooled s.d.) of the intervention will be determined for within subject and between subject differences. It is hypothesized that a moderate effect size (.5) will be demonstrated and that has been selected a priori as the criteria for pursuing a larger-scale randomized clinical trial.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Daily caloric intake

    Subjects will keep a food intake diary and bring it to their appointments where calorie intake will be calculated

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Daily protein intake

    Subjects will keep a food intake diary and bring it to their appointment where daily protein intake will be calculated

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Number of minutes of physical activity

    Subjects will wear a pedometer to track their daily activity

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Presence of disordered eating behaviors

    Subjects will complete pre and post treatment questionnaires to assess for disordered eating behaviors

    Measured: 6 months
