Question:
Any info re: teen canidates for Gastric Bypass Surgery and Medical?

I have had the surgery 2+ yrs ago and it was successful. I have a young teen friend who may qualify for the surgery and I am looking for info and direction for her in hopes of educating her and her family regarding the pros and cons of this surgery for her. At this point she is on Medical, also. Any specialist in this age group she can speak to or email? Thank you.    — Pat H. (posted on May 27, 2003)

As some of you know, I am against diluting the main message board with a lot of specialty message boards, but there are exceptions. I do believe we need a young peoples board where they can talk to each other plus others can research for their teens.
