Abstract
To ensure better postoperative outcomes, adolescents seeking bariatric surgery are advised monthly by an interdisciplinary team to establish healthier habits for weight management. Because behavioral changes are adapted slowly, sporadic and limited participation in weight management programs is unlikely to produce long-term health benefits and may impact whether adolescents proceed with surgery. The aim of this study was to examine demographic and basic treatment adherence as predictors of pre-surgery weight change and transition to surgery.
