How many teens have this surgery?

My daughter is considering a (RNY) surgery for weight loss. She is 17 years old, 5'3 and is 255 lbs. She is worried about her health and weight. I have had one done in 1992 VBG and lost 241 lbs then had a revision to a RNY this past March and now only have 50 lbs to lose from the 120 that I gained back.... So she is very familar with the requirements of what is going to take to make it work. She is very nervous about considering this but is very miserable about her weight... I have encouraged to try other methods, but she wants more information for WLS.. She would like to hear from others in her age bracket that have had it done. Any feedback or input, support would be great. Thanks - Bonnie
