Pediatric Bariatric Surgery: Questions You Should Be Asking

If you’ve ever had to take your child to the hospital, you know how fast things can get overwhelming. In this episode of Prescription for Admission, I join @Dr.MoniqueS.Nugent to talk through what pediatric surgery actually feels like from the family side, how to communicate with a surgical team, and what questions parents should never be afraid to ask.

We also demystify bariatric surgery for kids. I explain why “weight loss surgery” is the wrong label, what metabolic surgery really means, and why access to pediatric obesity care depends way too much on where you live. We get into how families find pediatric surgeons, what to do when you don’t feel heard, and why giving each other a little grace can change the whole experience.

If you’re a parent, a caregiver, a med student, or a healthcare professional who wants a clearer, calmer view of pediatric hospital care, this conversation is for you.
