The study creates and operationalizes a tool for monitoring the post-operative behavior of patients who undergo bariatric surgery. The study notes that bariatric surgery is a proven mechanism for managing obesity. However, failure to make changes in behavior results in the patient regaining weight lost or losing weight at a pace below the expected level. The study adopts a five item tool to assess patients who indicate behavioral risk that may affect outcomes. This tool enables clinicians to identify these patients and take proactive steps to guarantee the patient will adhere to cognitive and behavioral changes necessary.

The intervention group that underwent bariatric surgery and the control group that did not. A baseline was established by matching patient characteristics and comorbidities. The Tobit model was used, with costs 6 months before surgery being collected until patient recovery. Costs were adjusted to account for inflation and the Treasury bill discount rate at 3.07%. The study noted that patients who underwent surgery recouped the third party payers’ investment in 2 years and 4 years for laparoscopic and open surgery respectively.
