Has any parents here allowed their children/child to have WLS?

I posted the question this question last year sometime and wanted to go into the library to find some responses,but I couldn't locate it. My daughters is 13y/o now and is now weighing 315lbs I have tried every diet/change of eating habit I can think of, but she loses about 10-20lbs and then gains that and 10lbs more back, so I am really and truly considering the surgery for her. She is so sad all of the time and shes starting not to care what she looks like and I can see the poor self esteem peeking through. We have no ins. but her grandfather would be willing to pay for the surgery if I would find a Dr. that would do it. Mothers can you give me some advise especially those whose children have already been there, done that--and tell me how has it affected their life.
