This study is being done to learn more about how weight-loss surgery or a medicine called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) affects the bacteria in your mouth and stool. We are also trying to understand how these changes might be connected to your liver health and cholesterol levels. This information could help doctors take better care of children who need these treatments in the future.
