It may seem like the right thing to do! A very rotund child goes through Adjustable gastric band surgery. This child goes to loss tens of pounds and gains quality of life and health. However, recently there have been opinions claiming that in Israel they are rushing to operate children and teens, without considering the effects of the surgery on the children's growth and development.
In my opinion, adjustable gastric band surgery may seem like a drastic move for a teenager but it can be a positive decision. It can help fat teens from being embarrassed when they go to school. In addition, this surgery will reduce their appetite which means, in other words, they will eat less and be more healthy.
Being thin all my life, it is difficult for me to relate to those children's situation. Still, I can understand how it is to be different. Therefore, I can understand their desire for "a magic fix"; being overweight means everybody can see how different you are.
In conclusion, I believe that while this move in beneficial it has to me done with parental guidance and with the help of a psychologist in order to make sure that those children are making the right decision for the right reasons.
