Bariatric surgery is increasingly considered for the treatment of adolescents with severe obesity, but few prospective adolescent-specific studies examining efficacy and safety weight-loss are available to support clinical decision making.
Bariatric surgery results in weight loss and health improvements adults adolescents. However, whether outcomes differ according to the age of patient at time is unclear.We evaluated effects Roux-en-Y gastric bypass a cohort adolescents (161 patients enrolled from 2006 through 2012) (396 2009).
