This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a smartphone app called "Get Ready" that helps patients prepare for and recover from weight loss surgery. The study compares two versions: a standard app and an improved, more interactive version. Researchers want to see which version helps patients follow their diet plans better, lose weight before surgery, manage side effects afterward, and take their required vitamins.
Weight loss surgery is becoming more common, but patients often struggle to follow the preparation steps and recovery guidelines. This study aims to find out whether a more interactive digital tool can better support patients through this important health journey.

You would be randomly assigned to use either the standard Get Ready app or the new improved version. Throughout your surgery preparation and recovery, you would use your assigned app to track your diet, weight loss, symptoms, and vitamin intake. You would also complete questionnaires about your quality of life and how well you're following the recommended steps. The study involves 200 patients total and follows your journey before and after your weight loss surgery.
