About The Study: This randomized clinical trial that included 306 adults found that telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (tele-CBT) delivered at one year after bariatric surgery resulted in no change in short-term weight outcomes. However, binge eating, emotional eating, and depression and anxiety symptoms were significantly reduced in individuals receiving tele-CBT versus the control group.
