In May 2011, the Health & Fitness Promotion Lab started a massive collaboration with the Bariatric Surgery team at the Royal Victoria Hospital. Starting with patients who had bariatric surgery in 1996 and working forwards to present time, hundreds of people have contacted for both a short phone questionnaire and an invitation to come in for a iDXA scan, along with an RMR to determine basal metabolism and ActivPal administration. So far, we have welcomed 140 people into our lab, with over 300 more on the waiting list to come in. This project is ongoing, and we hope to have contacted all patients by the end of Summer 2013.听
The follow up study runs on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday mornings, with available appointments at 8:00AM or 10:00AM. If you have had bariatric surgery and are interested, please call us at (514)-476-3000
