What are the different types of obesity surgery?
If changes to diet and exercise are not effective, your doctor may consider medicines for weight loss. While these medicines can help you to lose weight, after you stop treatment there may be a gradual reversal of any weight loss. To help avoid this, you will need to continue to diet and exercise regularly. Because we have no knowledge of possible negative effects on puberty and later eating behaviour, medicines for obesity are not yet recommended for young people under the age of 18.
