Resting energy expenditure and metabolic adaptation in adolescents at 6 and 12 months following bariatric surgery

Background: Evidence suggests change in weight and body composition after bariatric surgery impacts resting energy expenditure (REE) and metabolic adaptation in adults. Metabolic adaptation refers to the physiological changes during weight loss that reduce REE more than REE determined by predictive equations. Little is known about REE and metabolic adaptation among adolescents who have undergone bariatric surgery.
