The TGH+USF Health Obesity Medicine Program is designed to educate and empower individuals who are committed to losing weight and improving their health. We offer a structured approach that incorporates nutrition planning, physical activity, lifestyle changes and medical guidance, making it an excellent option for those who struggle to lose weight on their own. This program is also well-suited for patients who are not eligible for bariatric surgery, prefer a less invasive option or want to explore conservative weight loss methods before considering surgical intervention.

In the Adolescent Bariatric Surgery Program housed within the TGH+USF Bariatric Center, these young people can benefit from a full spectrum of pre- and post-operative care in a weight-inclusive environment. As an alternative to weight loss surgery, we also offer a physician-supervised weight management program designed specifically for adolescents.
