Bariatric News: Adolescent Bariatric Patients Maintain Weight Loss and Resolution of Comorbidities

Bariatric News, a trade publication for the bariatric surgery field, covered “Long-Term Outcomes after Adolescent Bariatric Surgery” in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, with Dr. Nestor de la Cruz-Muñoz as lead author.

He described a 15-year research collaboration with senior author Sarah Messiah, PhD, and said the results confirmed that two decades of surgical care had helped these patients, even those who had been lost to follow-up. He also discussed surgery before or during the college years as a chance for a fresh start.
