ClinConnect Summary
The NURLIFE Program is a clinical trial designed to help improve the care of patients who are preparing for bariatric surgery, which is a type of surgery to help with weight loss. The study will compare two groups of patients: one group will receive standard care, while the other group will get additional support through a specialized program that includes both in-person meetings and online resources. The goal is to see how this extra support affects their health and overall well-being during the time leading up to and following their surgery.
To be eligible for this trial, patients must be scheduled for bariatric surgery at the hospital and agree to participate in the study. However, those who have certain complications from previous surgeries or have psychiatric or neurological disorders will not be included. Participants can expect to receive personalized support and guidance throughout their journey, helping them navigate the challenges of surgery and recovery. This study is important because it aims to be the first of its kind to explore how long-term, tailored support can make a difference for bariatric surgery candidates.
