Development of a Weight Maintenance Intervention for Bariatric Surgery Patients (MAINTAIN-B)

July 15, 2019 updated by: VA Office of Research and Development
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.

Detailed Description

The first intervention telephone call will occur one week following the baseline assessment. Calls will be made weekly in the first month (weeks 1, 2, 3, 4) and biweekly calls during months 2-4 (weeks 6, 8, 10, 12, 14). The goal of this intervention is to increase adherence to recommendations that patients are already receiving from their bariatric team as part of standard of care. Thus, each call will address maintenance skill building and anticipatory problem solving based on the processes outlined in the investigators' conceptual model and operationalized in the investigators' previous weight loss maintenance protocol. Relapse prevention planning will help patients identify situations in which overeating is common in the bariatric population (e.g., loss of control eating related to emotions, disinhibition).
