Abstract in brief

  • Participants saw the trial as an opportunity for structured weight loss that could improve their surgery results, but they also worried about diet taste and side effects.
  • Clinicians’ positive attitudes helped encourage patients to join, though some were disappointed if they received only standard care, especially when families emphasized weight loss benefits too much.
  • The study highlights the importance of understanding patient perspectives during recruitment, especially since this period can be stressful and may impact their willingness to participate.]
