Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new educational program for people who have recently had gastric bypass surgery.

DEVICE

MedSignals®pillbox,Omron pedometer,VitalSignals®weight scale

Participants will use three home monitoring devices (i.e., weight scale, pedometer, pillbox) for two months. In addition, participants will receive weekly phone calls from the study's bariatric dietician during weeks 1-4 of the study and then receive biweekly calls during the second month. The structured phone calls (approximately 10-15 minutes each call) will focus on discussing the patient's adherence data, discussing any barriers to adherence, and providing tailored patient education.
