๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The study plans to learn more about what happens to the body after bariatric surgery in people 12 to 24 years old. The study aims to understand why people respond differently to bariatric surgery and how to define success beyond weight loss alone. The study also plans to learn more about whether a medication (semaglutide or tirzepatide) can help people 12 to 24 years old who, between 6 and 24 months after bariatric surgery, have not lost as much weight as expected.
