Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training for Bariatric Surgery Patients
Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) for Bariatric Surgery Patients: The Effects of Mindfulness on Psychosocial and Physical Functioning
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) for patients who have had bariatric surgery on their weight and mental and physical health compared to patients who do not do this group. All participants will complete questionnaires evaluating eating and mental health before and after the group and 6 and 12 months later. They will have blood pressure readings at these times and complete a questionnaire about their digestive health. Our hypothesis is that participants will maintain their weight loss after bariatric surgery and have improvements in the other outcomes.
