Weight Loss Surgery for Children: Is It An Option?
Becky’s mother came into my office and started crying before the door closed behind her.
“I’ve done everything I can but my child just keeps getting bigger. She’s bullied at school, cries herself to sleep every night and now she’s been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. Should she have weight loss surgery?”
Questions like this are becoming more common as childhood obesity increases and weight loss surgery becomes a more common procedure.
