Abstract
The Viennese center has performed bariatric surgery in adolescents for as long as 8 years to date of publication with special emphasis on detection and prevention of vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies. As a conclusion to this chapter we want to share our experiences with long-term follow-up after bariatric surgery and the associated secondary complications. The results mentioned below were partially published in Pediatric Obesity in 2011 (Widhalm et al. 2011).
