This is what is in store for our children. Such glowing reports with only two year follow-up. Tragic and misleading at the least. All short term data with adults look good at two years. They all fail in every group and with every procedure at 10 years. It will be the same or worse with our children. They will continue to eat the same imbalanced diet of as much as 20 to 1 ratio of Omega 6 fatty acids to Omega 3 fatty acid. Even though they eat less, the diet is wrong and leads to inflammation and many health problems Also way too much mortality and morbidity with these radical surgeries to be inflicted on our children.

Imperative we succeed with our children’s obesity through physiologically sound diet and lifestyle. Stop this insanity.
