<br/><br/> "Bariatric surgeries--long popular with morbidly obese adults--are on the rise with youths nationwide. The numbers are expected to increase, and that has physicians across the country readying themselves--cautiously--for the trend....Some doctors fear the surgeries are being performed too liberally, on patients who don't have enough health risks to justify the procedure. Others say the challenge is to determine if the risks of adolescent obesity outweigh the risks of surgery." (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER) Expert opinions on the benefits and risks of bariatric surgery for young people are included.
