About this study

Official title: Early Intervention in Patients With Predicted Poor Long-term Outcome Following Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: a Prospective Randomized Study

Purpose and objective: To identify in the early post-operative period following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients likely to fail to progressively lose weight in expected fashion, and to institute intervention and assess for its efficacy.

Study activities and population group: Patients identified to have "poor weight loss" (≤ 11% of excess weight loss) at 1 month will be randomized into a control versus study group. Intervention for subjects randomized to the IV arm will be by enrollment in the Back on Track program. This is a seven-week group education, counseling, nutrition, exercise, and journaling program of the Duke Weight Loss Surgery Center designed to help postoperative bariatric surgery patients who are failing to progressively lose weight resume an expected pattern of weight loss and improved overall outcome.

Data analysis and risk/safety: Data will be collected and analyzed by the identified investigators. The goal of data analysis is to uncover any difference in the EWL of subjects who underwent intervention for falling in the lowest EWL quartile when compared with those who did not undergo intervention, and determine the statistical significance of any such difference. There are no physical risks associated with this study. There is, however, the potential risk of loss of confidentiality. Every effort will be made to keep your information confidential.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lifestyle counselingBehavioural

    Weeks 1 and 2 consist primarily of a review of current dietary habits with initiation of a food journal; a basic review of macronutrients and metabolism; and the beginning of a weekly exercise regimen. Weeks 3, 4, \& 5 introduces counseling, with specific emphasis on emotional aspects of eating and behavioral modification strategies. Week 6 focuses on the metabolic impact of exercise, and includes an exercise session with a personal trainer. Week 7 incorporates a question and answer session with a sharing of discoveries, as well as an option for additional individual follow-up as needed. During this period, patients will also be given access to an interactive web-based tool providing additional emphasis on the aforementioned components and clinician follow-up.
