Long‐Term Experience of Undergoing Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery as an Adolescent
A high level of satisfaction was expressed among those who had undergone MBS as an adolescent. The treatment was considered to help improve daily life and overall well-being and the majority would recommend MBS to others in comparable situations. However, participants highlighted the need for ongoing multidisciplinary support and acknowledged the challenges associated with life after MBS. Notably, a significant proportion of individuals did not attend regular medical follow-ups, emphasizing the importance of structured strategies to ensure adherence to postoperative care.
