Abstract

a type of "talk therapy"] intervention focused on developing coping skills and specifically designed for weight loss surgery patients). Participants will complete measures of mental health distress, eating behaviours and a psychological distress scale prior to and immediately following the intervention. Implications: If Tele-CBT is found to improve post-pandemic mental health distress and eating behaviours, it could be routinely offered to patients with other chronic medical conditions as a resource to help manage psychological distress and mental health concerns emerging during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
