Summary

This study tests whether the medication lisdexamfetamine can help people who have loss-of-control eating after bariatric surgery and did not improve with earlier treatments. About 60 adults who had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy will receive either the medication or a placebo. The goal is to see if the medication reduces eating episodes and helps with weight management.
