Bariatric surgery is shown to be an effective tool in the treatment and further prevention of childhood obesity. More bariatric procedures are being performed annually on adolescent patients throughout the United States. The New England Journal of Medicine released a case study showing that in 2003 there were approximately 800 bariatric procedures performed, in 2009 this number doubled to over 1600 procedures being performed annually.
