Bariatric Surgery Overview
Bariatric surgery is a surgical treatment for severe obesity, where specialists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center modify the stomach and its connections to help teens lose weight. For severely obese adolescents who haven't had success with behavioral and nutritional approaches to weight loss, bariatric surgery is another tool for weight management. This tool, however, should be used only when other nonoperative approaches have failed to achieve lasting results.
