Gastric Bypass Surgery For Young Teens?

Young teens are becoming too obese for their age these days. Some are so bad that they are in the need of Gastric Bypass Surgery, this is depressing. The procedure they are going to recieve is the Lap Band Surgery, where they make your stomach smaller with an adjustable band around the stomach where one can change the size of their stomach depending on how much food they should intake. It is adjustable because it may take a few adjustments before knowing how tight or loose the band should be for the particular patient. I think this is really sad that young teens are in need of a surgery like this. This just goes to show that our youth aren't being fed with healthy foods and probably more with fatty foods, such as fast foods like McDonalds. Parents should see this as a warning for their own kids. Do they really want their kid to become so overweight that they are going to be in need of a gastric bypass surgery at that age? It is not worth it. Kids should be fed in a more healtheir way at their age specifically; it'll make a difference in their lives to come.
