Core Tip This study introduces a combined intervention of motivational interviewing (MI) and digital health guidance for pediatric obesity management. Our findings reveal that integrating MI with digital support significantly enhances lifestyle compliance, dietary and exercise behaviors, weight control, lipid profiles, and quality of life in children after metabolic and bariatric surgery. The MI approach, which focuses on eliciting patient motivation, synergizes with digital monitoring to sustain long-term behavior change, offering a novel and effective model for postoperative care in this vulnerable population.
