Our Adolescent Weight Loss Program

Adolescent and teenage obesity has grown disproportionately faster compared to adult obesity, which has resulted in a true medical crisis amongst the young men and women in the US population. It is estimated that between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. A combination of genetics, a lack of understanding about food choices, and a general apathy towards health and nutrition have spawned this epidemic.  And as it becomes more serious, there are fewer long-term options to deal with it.

Recent studies suggest that weight loss surgery may be beneficial for select teenagers. We strongly believe that many, if not most teenagers, can combat and control their obesity through more exercise and better diets, however as we fully understand genetics and its effect on our adolescents, there are some for whom bariatric surgery is the only option.
