Description
Shlomit Shalitin, Moshe Phillip, and Michal Yackobovitch-Gavan analyse real-world records in 2026 for 1,035 Israeli adolescents who had weight-loss surgery between 2010 and 2024. Sleeve gastrectomy was the main operation, and follow-up lasted a median of nearly six years. Outcomes covered body mass, blood pressure, and laboratory measures.
Body mass fell most during the first one to three years and stayed improved afterwards. Boys reduced body mass more than girls, while results were broadly similar across ethnic and income groups. Blood pressure and several metabolic measures also improved durably. Teenagers who started heaviest remained heaviest throughout follow-up, despite clear gains. The authors read the data as support for surgery as a long-term option in severe adolescent obesity.
