Summary

This study tested whether adding a smartphone app to standard dietitian visits helps people prepare for bariatric surgery. 40 adults who qualified for surgery were split into two groups: one got the app plus usual care, the other only usual care. Researchers measured changes in nutrition knowledge, weight, body composition, and other health markers before and up to 2 years after surgery.
