Study Summary

In this project the investigators aim to improve eating control and weight loss outcomes in patients undergoing LAGB with an innovative brain-based intervention. Specifically, the investigators will enhance the activity of the right inferior frontal gyrus, a core region of the brain circuit of inhibitory control, using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Primary Outcome

Participants will be weighed at the indicated time points. Weight loss at 12 months will be the primary outcome of the study.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
