My weight is 275lbs. You have to be more specific in your question? Also Welcome to Fluther!

Thank you haha, sorry. It was an accident with my computer. The question is: how do you feel about young teens having bariatric surgery?

young teens? out of the question, unless they weight is acutely endangering their health.

I think that it’s way too young to use this particular weight loss tool. I would rather see them go to a camp type atmosphere where they would learn about nutrition, portion control, exercise and development of self-esteem. Within that, it would be great to have some follow-up so once they get home the whole family knows what kind of support is needed.
