He included that "in our program we like to treat prior, around 15 or 16, so a change can be made before setting off for college and living autonomously."

Dr. Alexander Barkan is a bariatric specialist at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. He concurred with the study creators that way of life change, regularly, isn't sufficient to help extremely fat young people get in shape on a supported premise.
