Apparently many US children are so obese they need bariatric surgery:

I'm no expert, but isn't this (at least in part) the result of bad food, no exercise, and other environmental factors which are not being addressed?
One thing I do know is that some forms of bariatric surgery strongly affect the body's ability to absorb calcium and various nutrients, resulting in osteoporosis and other maladies not addressed in the above report. If you or a loved one is contemplating such surgery, make sure you understand its potential effects - both the good AND the bad.
