Summary

This study tests a remote program called ReConnect for people who had bariatric surgery about 2 years ago and their romantic partners. The program uses weekly handouts and videos with positive psychology activities to improve mood, resilience, and relationship satisfaction. 82 couples will be randomly assigned to start the program right away or wait 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and helps reduce depressive symptoms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ReConnect positive psychology program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based program to help bariatric surgery patients and their partners feel better emotionally and strengthen their relationship.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 82 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is new and its benefits are not yet proven.
