Abstract
Bariatric surgery is effective in treating obesity. Postsurgical nutrition follow-up care is traditionally done in person, and limited research exists on the effectiveness of telehealth. This review aimed to determine whether telehealth compared with in-person-care is effective in achieving weight loss post–bariatric surgery. A comprehensive literature search yielded 3 relevant articles. Telehealth was found to be as effective as in-person care in achieving significant weight loss. Dietitians may consider telehealth a viable option for patient care when obstacles to in-person care exist. Future research should aim at identifying when to implement telehealth, ideal methods, and what population would benefit most.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Clinical Nutrition (TICN) is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal designed as a resource for the continuing education and clinical practice of dietitians and nutritionists. Each issue addresses topics of interest primarily to dietitians and nutritionists, students and interns in professional training programs and other health care personnel involved in the nutritional care of patients. Articles include translational research reports (work that applies new knowledge to practical effect), practice projects, evidence-based literature reviews, case studies and book reviews, and articles that highlight education theory and applied research which share the tools and techniques of nutrition and dietetics education.
