Teen weight loss surgeries face major Two-Year test
NCT ID NCT02004561
Summary
This study compares three types of weight loss surgery—gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass—in severely obese teenagers. Researchers at Yale University are following 26 adolescents for two years after surgery to see which procedure is safest and most effective at improving weight and blood sugar control. The teens and their families choose which surgery to receive, and researchers monitor their progress through regular check-ups and tests.
