Hi everyone! I am a doctoral student at the University Kentucky who is looking for research participants who have been approved for weight loss surgery by their physician (though not necessarily approved by insurance!) for my research study. Please see the flyer below and contact me if interested.

Best of luck on your journey!

I'm very interested. I've always done well in responding to research. I'm 66 years old, African American, life time history of obesity, tried many weight loss programs over the years and now find myself weighing 280 pounds. I want to loose weight to live. I've been fortunate I'm not diabetic. Had back surgery four years ago. Having knee problems.

Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately I can only take participants from the US, soley due to the cost of mailing!
