Adolescent weight loss surgery in NJ at Nusbaum Medical Centers gives qualifying teens a safe, proven path to a healthier future when other approaches haven't worked.
At Nusbaum Medical Centers in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, adolescent bariatric surgery is led by Dr. Michael Nusbaum, a board-certified surgeon, FACS FASMBS, who has led medical and aesthetic care in New Jersey for more than 25 years. For teens with severe obesity and related health risks, surgery — when appropriate — can be life-changing, and it's delivered here with sensitivity and family involvement.
Why Surgery May Be Considered for Teens
Severe adolescent obesity carries real risks: type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint problems and emotional strain. When supervised lifestyle programs aren't enough, bariatric surgery can dramatically improve health and quality of life. Leading pediatric and surgical organizations now recognize it as a valid option for carefully selected teens.

A Careful, Whole-Family Approach
