A member asked:
I was wondering is a 13 year old able to get a gastric bypass surgery without too many complications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet/exercise: I think 13 years old is too young to undergo gastric bypass surgery. A better option is diet modification and exercise. Too young to be able to deal with the dietary changes after bypass surgery.
