Adolescent Loss-of-Control Eating and Weight Loss Maintenance After Bariatric Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Loss-of-control (LOC) eating is common in adults undergoing bariatric surgery and is associated with poorer weight outcomes. Its long-term course in adolescent bariatric surgery patients and associations with weight outcomes are unclear.
