Paid Bariatric Surgery Patient Study ($650) in Boston



Recommended Posts

EMS/M3 Global Research is currently conducting a study to refine ideas for the design of a nutrition program/system for bariatric patients.

  • We are looking for patients that recently (past 8 months) had bariatric surgery and live in the Boston, MA area to participate in an in-depth study.

  • As a small thank you we are offering each participant up to $650 for their time.

  • The program we are developing will include an education and tracking system focused on hydration and proteins; there are no clinical interventions involved.

If you are interested or would like more information please contact us ASAP on 877 311 5992 (free number) or send an email to jana.rueten@ems.eu.com.

Many thanks in advance!

ok... well for anyone else considering I started this study last night, met IN PERSON with the people running it, and already got paid a portion of the total $$. They do not ask for your SSN, your weight, or how much you've lost, just your name, address, phone #. There is no medicine or medical intervention at all involved and in my opinion, what I'm doing is really easy.

Just putting that out there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
