Abstract

This cross-sectional study analyzed adolescent metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) utilization before and after glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) medication approval, comparing trends across race and ethnic groups. Although both MBS and GLP-1RA are effective weight management strategies, adolescent MBS utilization increased, while adult rates declined from 2021 through 2023.
