Treatment Trial for Weight Loss Surgery Patients Seeks Volunteers

[Genevieve Jamieson 0]

Researchers from the University of Western Australia are seeking volunteers to participate in a trial investigating the possibility of psychological treatment enhancing weight loss among those who have undergone Lap-Band surgery. We are offering individuals the opportunity to participate in a psychological treatment programme which will be run over 3 months and be provided free of charge. Those agreeing to participate must be willing to either receive psychological treatment or continue standard medical care, as they are unable to choose which treatment they are allocated. If you have undergone Lap-Band surgery, aged between 18 and 65 years old and are able to attend UWA in Nedlands for regular treatment, please contact Dr Emma Dove for more information on 9224 0341. This study has been approved by the UWA Ethics Committee.
