"Weight Loss and Health Status 3 Years after Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents"

"CONCLUSIONS
In this multicenter, prospective study of bariatric surgery in adolescents, we found significant improvements in weight, cardiometabolic health, and weight-related quality of life at 3 years after the procedure. Risks associated with surgery included specific micronutrient deficiencies and the need for additional abdominal procedures.
