Implications of Adolescent Body Image upon Weight Loss Surgery Success
Bariatric Nursing and Surgical Patient Care, 09/29/09
McFadden KM et al. – An important factor in determining the suitability of an obese adolescent for weight–loss surgery (WLS) entails having the adolescent envision how they believe their body will look as they lose weight and how they expect their body to appear at their goal weight.
