What's the youngest age they can perform bariatric (weight loss) surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: Age is not the issue. It is your weight, your medical history, your meds, etc. It is only after the baratric surgeon has done a thorough job can he/she decide if you are a candidate or not. Then you must decide yes or no.
