Adolescent Program

The issues with obesity that are striking American adults can also affect their children. Weight loss surgery in adolescents can tremendously improve quality of life when performed by experienced minimally invasive bariatric surgeons involved with a specially designed multidisciplinary program.

We offer a specialized Adolescent Program for patients 13 and older that includes one-to-one counseling for the patient as well as family counseling. This program is structured to overcome any behavioral problems which may have contributed to early obesity and prepare the adolescent for social changes that may occur after surgery for weight loss.

Our adolescent patients receive the attentive care and clinical expertise of a multidisciplinary team that includes surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, bariatric psychologists, pediatric psychologists, pediatric dieticians, exercise physiologists and even ethicists (people who specialize in ethical principles). This team is trained to address the medical, surgical and emotional needs of adolescents.
