Is there financial assistance for teen weight loss surgery?

In: Health, Diet and Weight Loss, Surgery and Hospitalization [Edit categories]

Answer:

Most cosmetic surgery companies providing weight loss surgery offer finance facilities to their Patients. However you must be at least 18 years to be accepted as Patient in most cases.

A number of weight loss operations such as gastric band and gastric bypass are done on the National Health Service. If you are under 18 it would be worth a visit to your family Doctor as it maybe possible to have this surgery without any charge at all.
