ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how using a connected scale to monitor weight can help patients maintain their weight loss after obesity surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. The goal is to see if regular weight checks can reduce the number of people who regain more than 10% of the weight they lost. The study will involve 182 adults who had surgery about a year ago. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive standard follow-up care, while the other will use a connected scale to weigh themselves weekly. This scale sends their weight data to the research team, who will monitor for any significant weight regain and provide support when needed.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old, have had weight-loss surgery within the past year, and be fluent in French. They should not have any serious health issues that require special monitoring, nor should they have a pacemaker or any condition that prevents them from standing on a scale. Pregnant individuals or those planning to become pregnant during the study period are also not eligible. Participants can expect close monitoring and support throughout the year to help them stay on track with their weight loss goals.
