Surgery for Adolescents

Surgery for Adolescents

Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents is currently an investigational procedure. The Lap-Band System should be approved for adolescents aged 14 - 18 in the near future.  The New York Bariatric Group in conjunction with Mercy Medical Center has already begun a non-surgical multidisciplinary weight loss program which will be used in the future to offer one of the most comprehensive surgical weight loss programs in the Northeast.  Please feel free to contact us to enroll in our non-surgical adolescent weight loss program and check back with us regularly to learn when the Lap-Band System is approved for adolescents.
