Other

Since 2014 ongoing in the clinical setting. This program is continuously used for research.

The VIADUKT II program is an educational program offered at the University Hospital Tübingen to adults with obesity, primarily those with class 3 obesity. These patients have i) undergone conservative therapies according to the guidelines but still need to exhaust conservative methods before qualifying for BS as the next-step in guideline-based therapy or ii) have a primary indication for surgery, such as severe comorbidities that preclude conservative treatment. The program aims to bridge the time to BS by i) educating and preparing the patients for surgery and the period thereafter as well as to ii) physically and psychologically stabilize them and motivate for healthy lifestyle changes.
