Abstract
To ensure better postoperative outcomes, adolescents seeking bariatric surgery are advised monthly by an interdisciplinary team to establish healthier habits for weight management.

The aim of this study was to examine demographic and basic treatment adherence as predictors of pre-surgery weight change and transition to surgery.
