Weight loss surgery for teens? What do you think?

Wednesday, April 04, 2012

Hmmm...just saw a piece on the TOday show on teens having weight loss surgery...

These teens were 16 and over 300 lbs...I don't know how I feel about this...part of me thinks it is a good idea for the morbidly obese teens who have permanently altered their metabolism already. Also they lack the maturity to do what it takes to lose weight sensibly.

If it were my daughter or son, what would i do???

No!!! Surgery is serious, if these kids do not have the tools or motivation to lose weight in a healthy way I doubt they will maintain the loss. We have to teach kids good skills, not that you can do everything to excess then go get it fixed.
