The largest, longest study of teen obesity surgery shows huge weight loss and health gains can last at least three years, and many say it's worth the risks.
"I feel awesome. It's like a new life," said Miranda Taylor, a Cincinnati nursing student in the study who had surgery when she was 16 and weighed 265 pounds. She lost more than 100 pounds, along with severe depression, pre-diabetes and an obesity-related hormonal condition.
Although she has since gained about 20 pounds, she's still healthy and has surpassed her initial goal of fitting into size 16 jeans — she wears size 14.
"I knew that this might not get me down to like model-size, which I wasn't concerned about. I just wanted to be able to fit into a healthy size," said Taylor, now 20.
Many of the 228 teens studied started out about three times heavier than what is considered healthy — almost 330 pounds on average. Their average weight loss was more than 90 pounds and for many, obesity-related health problems that vanished early after surgery remained at bay three years later.

So you're just assuming they will be fat again. Usually those types of surgeries have a counseling requirement before and after. At least, someone I know who got a similar surgery had to do that.

I've gotten to the point in my life I need to do this surgery. I've put on close to 200 pounds since graduating high school. I'm so ashamed of how I look I rarely go out anymore. Ive tried exercising and eating right but I just can't do it. On top of that I have lost basically all my hair on my head.
Maybe this surgery will help me be more confident

A lady that works with my mom. She went from 270ish to about 110 within a couple of years. She had to do 12 months of counseling beforehand as a prerequisite.

Not to mention your mother having sex with strangers for money. That's a rough hand to be dealt bro, thoughts and prayers.

Well that's encouraging. Imagine if any major medical procedure was supported by research that implied that the previous ailment would be eliminated for at least three years.
That's some mediocrely shite right there.

I will put money on it that she will be 200+ by her late twenties.

This is actually true. My first banning was for something along these lines.
And Walt, your mom's a hooker.

You're probably in the clear
I once was banned because I laughed at someone being racist instead of RAing

Lucas please stop talking about my mom
I've asked you nicely. You know she died giving birth to me. It's pretty mean of you to keep bringing her up.

Sounds brave.
