First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at what happens to the body after bariatric surgery in people aged 12 to 24. It also tests whether adding semaglutide (a weekly injection) can help those who haven't lost enough weight 1 to 2 years after surgery. The goal is to understand why some respond better than others and to define success beyond just weight loss.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to help teens who don't lose enough weight after bariatric surgery, improving long-term health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 40 participants. It's testing a combination of surgery and medication, so results may not apply to everyone, and side effects from semaglutide (like nausea or vomiting) are possible.
