Greetings,
My name is Rebecca Liu and I am a PhD student at Western University in London, Ontario Canada.
My supervisor, Dr. Jennifer Irwin and I would like to invite you to participate in our research study.
As a bariatric surgery candidate or recipient, we want to know your thoughts on the support-related services that you are receiving before, during, and after surgery to support your long-term weight management (i.e., physiologically, psychosocially, and emotionally in the short- and long-term of the bariatric surgery process).
Your perspectives will provide insight as to what still needs to be addressed to advance bariatric care worldwide.
The survey will consist of a series of closed- and open- ended questions. All information given will be kept confidential. When the results are formulated and presented, no identifying factors will be included to protect your confidentiality.
-The survey will take approximately 45-60 minutes -It will be open until July 1st, 2016 12:00 p.m. EST
