When you hear the weight loss surgery, you think image occupied celebrities, and the morbidly obese-not teenage girls.

Not teenage girls only deals with the latest developments at hot topic and Justin Beaver character?

No, many teenage girls uses a lot of time worrying about their weight and now more and more teenagers opting for risky lap-band surgery to lose.

Although the gastric banding is not approved by the us food and drug administration, found a new study in the journal Pediatrics rate for gastric banding, between 2005-2007 increased five times.

Researchers say most of the patients were white girls, despite adolescent white girls only to do less than half of overweight young people.

Gastric banding, places a silicone loop around the upper part of the stomach, unlike gastric bypass, which divides the stomach in a lower and upper pouch; both procedures facilitate dramatic weight loss.

Among California teenagers around the rate of gastric banding rose from 0.3 per 100,000 children to 1.5, whereas the surgery, which is considered the "gold standard" weight loss surgery, decreased from 3.8 per 100,000 to 2.7.

Gastric banding, occupies two thirds of an estimated $ 400 million weight loss surgery market; intense marketing helps the lap-band the industry grow.Are not FDA approved makes this massive unethical.

And many health experts are apprehensive when travelling in gastric banding, fundamental and potentially dangerous problems with surgery; place a rigid ring around a moving body could undermine the area over time.

For me, this is a no-brainer. weight loss surgery is extreme, and should be used only in extreme cases where everything else failed; IE.No amount of nutritional intervention or exercise rehabilitation will save an overweight person's life in motion. But teenage girls? no, always No.

Teenagers are not lost causes. Well, except for the 17 year old boy still eat paste. If you are younger than 18, system support is probably stronger than it ever will be. So, between family, friends, school, and your doctor-there must be a better and safer why losing weight.

If you start to take the easy way out on 15, 16, 17, you do not accurately indicate a good precedent for the rest of your life-are you?
