  1. N = 298 and the number of completed replications = 4856 (out of 5000 requested); bold if the result is significant at the p-value 0.05 level; CI stands for confidence intervals, SE stands for standard errors; covariates, such as current BMI, weight loss, time since surgery, gender, age, education, and household income, are controlled for in the model, but omitted; the developers of Mplus recommend reporting non-significance when either the lower bound or the upper bound of the C.I. is reported as 0.000
