Patient and Family Information Sessions

The Surgical Weight Loss Program for Teens at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center offers information sessions on weight loss surgery options for teens. Patients and their families are invited to attend. Learn about upcoming dates and times.

The Surgical Weight Loss Program for Teens is a pioneer in the treatment of adolescent obesity. We are the first surgical program designed specifically for overweight teens that combines the expertise from a variety of medical professionals.

In addition to bariatric surgery, we offer an individualized exercise program and support group. We are also the first pediatric medical center with bariatric research studies funded by the National Institutes of Health. All patients will have an opportunity to participate in these research studies. If you have been wondering if surgical weight loss may be right for you, please come and see what we are all about!
