Preoperative Weight Trends in Adolescents Undergoing Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Preoperative weight changes, predictors of weight changes, and subsequent implications on postoperative BMI reduction in adolescents preparing for bariatric surgery (MBS) have not been well described.

Methods

Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) consortium (prospective, observational MBS study at five centers from 2007 to 2011) participants who completed the preoperative phase within 3-9 months of initial visit were included in this analysis (n = 123). Participants were categorized into preoperative weight groups: > 1% loss, stable, or > 1% gain. Demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic, medical, and behavioral data were analyzed. Postoperative percent BMI loss at 1, 5, and 8 years by weight group was compared.
