How old do you have to be to have the gastric bypass surgery I am 15 and thinking about gastric bypass and need to know if I am of age and what will I have to go through Asked by mike_N_ike 35 months ago Similar questions: gastric bypass surgery Health > Surgery.

You need to discuss this with the qualified bariatric center where you might have the procedure done I would first contact the nearest qualified bariatric surgicla center and ask what age ranges they normally accept for thier procedures. Different centers have different ages restrictions.

1 There are questions only a doctor can answer. There are a lot of things to be considered in having this surgery. It doesn't have anything to do with how old you are.It has to do with how much you weigh, what your general health is like, if you will follow the strict diet and exercise routine you have to follow after you have the surgery.

You will have to see a doctor about this matter, but I can tell you this. This is surgery - and all surgery can be dangerous. Also, if you think you can have this surgery, and then still eat everything you want to and not gain weight, think again.

It doesn't work that way.

3 Please think long and hard before having the surgery. I had it at 43 years old and lost 210 pounds in 5 months. Then my surgery failed, and I put back on all but 70 pounds.

I have had every complication and problem you can have with this procedure except death. I really regret it -- it has made my life really difficult. You are young, please try other methods first before you do this.

4 My friend, the surgery is no magic bullet. After the surgery, if you overeat and don't exercise, you will gain all the weight back. People don't realize that after this surgery, you STILL have to diet and exercise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
