Bariatric surgery benefits teens with severe obesity for up to 10 years: research
More than half of patients with type 2 diabetes were still in remission up to a decade after the procedure, researchers report.
Adolescents undergoing gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy for obesity have durable reductions in BMI and type 2 diabetes, according to findings from the longest follow-up to date.
A prospective cohort study of US patients aged 13-19 found that bariatric surgery had greater health benefits compared with adults who underwent the procedure.
