Now this is simply dangerous. Our mania to make everyone the same weight has gone too far. Weight Loss Surgery is major surgery, with all the possible complications that go with surgery. Now they are cutting up children who don't even have any weight related health complaints. Maybe we should teach our kids to act like they have some sense(if the teasing behavior wasn't encouraged, they'd stop), encourage better school lunch menus(not pizza every day like they had when I was coming up), get the kids eating varied healthy foods, not fad diets, just lots of fruits and veggies, wheat breads and lean proteins, encourage non competitive movement(if it's a big production every time you don't win, you're not going to want to do it) for our children. Have the whole family go for a walk. Just don't have their stomachs stapled for god's sake!
