520			_a"In January [2003], Kendall [Brasch] joined an increasing number of obese teens who undergo stomach-reduction surgery. Doctors used staples to reduce her stomach to a pouch the size of a golf ball, then cut her small intestine and reattached it to the pouch. Now when she eats, her tiny stomach grows full quickly and her shortened digestive tract absorbs fewer calories. She's lost 105 pounds and counting and says, 'I'm ready to really start living.' Some experts worry about what that new life has in store for her." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article examines the risks involved in bariatric surgery on young people and discusses the ambivalence of pediatric-obesity experts regarding the procedure.
