    The Challenge of Teen Obesity

    For adolescents struggling with obesity, frustration with their weight often goes hand in hand with related health and social issues. At Miami VIP Surgery, we want teens to lead healthy and happy lives.

    Our Adolescent Weight-Loss Surgery Program

    Is Adolescent Bariatric Surgery Right for You?

    Weight-loss surgery is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We require a commitment to a lifelong, healthy lifestyle. To be eligible for adolescent weight-loss surgery, the following criteria must be met:
    • Ages 15-18
    • Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or greater
    • Failure to lose weight with physician-guided diets and exercise regimens with parental consent

    If adolescent weight-loss surgery is determined to be the right choice, we will guide you through the necessary steps to book the procedure:

    • Pre-Op Treatment:
    Personalized care plan, testing, and assessment, including consultations with a behavioral specialist.
    • Pre-Op Education:

    Review of dietary requirements and the surgical process.

    • Surgery:
    We typically perform a gastric sleeve procedure, which removes approximately 75% of the stomach.
    • Post-Op Treatment:
    Follow-up appointments with the surgeon, dietitian, mental health professional, and others as needed.
    • Ongoing Support:
    Monthly one-on-one visits with our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Keshavarzi.
