What this Trial Is About
Obesity affects 3% to 4% of adolescents and can lead to heart-related deaths in adulthood. Bariatric surgery is known as a leading treatment for weight loss and preventing obesity-related health problems in adults, but its use and safety in teenagers are still being defined. Since 2008, some university hospitals in France have been performing bariatric surgery on adolescents, leading to health authority recommendations in 2016. Continued monitoring is important as these surgical techniques become more common among young patients. This observational study focuses on laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding as a weight-loss surgery option for adolescents aged 14 to 20. The Angers University Hospital, a leader in adolescent bariatric surgery, is updating data on how well this surgery works for weight loss and related health conditions. The study also tracks medical, psychological, and surgical complications over time. Participants will be followed for at least two years after surgery with assessments of weight changes, insulin resistance, blood fat levels, liver health, and obesity-related conditions. The study also evaluates mental health, quality of life, cosmetic satisfaction one year after surgery, and surgical complications. These comprehensive evaluations aim to improve the management of adolescent obesity through surgery and monitor long-term outcomes.
