Weight loss surgery may help teens be physically healthier, but what about mentally? Unlisted Video

The teen years are usually fraught, at best. They're even more challenging when the teen is severely obese.
Bariatric surgery can help teens struggling with their weight get healthier -- physically.
But according to a new Swedish study, it doesn't always solve the mental and emotional problems that can accompany obesity.
In fact, UPI reports such problems may persist long after successful surgery.
According to the authors, surgery doesn't necessarily exacerbate mental health problems.
