Additional Study Information: Bariatric surgery and a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 medicine both cause major weight loss in teens, but their effects on mouth and gut bacteria and on damaged blood fats tied to metabolism are still unknown. This study will collect saliva, stool, and routine blood samples from adolescents before treatment and six months later to see how these biological markers change and whether the shifts accompany better liver-enzyme and cholesterol results.
