I'm currently conducting some research for a television documentary. Does your teenager want bariatric surgery - and how do you feel about it?
Of course.... it's an operation where weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach. Long terms studies show the procedures cause significant long-term loss of weight, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors.
Hope that helps.
Hi just_wondering, could you explain further what bariatic surgery is please.
