By: benny At 5ft 4ins, Megan was desperate to lose weight because she could not be as active as her friends in her home city of Denver, Colorado. She even hired a personal trainer – before opting for surgery. She told Fox News: ‘I can’t move. I can’t do anything. I don’t feel young. I feel old. I just always felt different. I’m just tired of being this way.’ The surgery, which consists of placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach so that patients feel full up with less food, took only 14 minutes to carry out by the doctor. The latest research shows more and more teenagers are following Megan’ Progress: She dropped 50 pounds in four months after surgery Eighteen per cent of the patients were under 18 and nearly 80 per cent were female. Dr. Bruce Wolfe, president of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, said weight loss benefits and medical advancements are at least partially responsible for the rise.”The benefits of weight loss have in the last two years or three years shown to be quite substantial,” In India the Cost of Weight Loss Surgery is about 6000 to 7500 US Dollars.

Weight loss surgery can cause serious complications, including infection, heart attacks, blood clots and death, according to the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. But Miss Green’s parents have been supportive. Her mother Debby aid: ‘I just want her to be healthy. I’m just hoping this helps her and makes all of her dreams come true.’ After the operation, patients are still advised exercise regularly and stick to a strict diet of several small meals a day, or risk feeling sick due to the constriction of the stomach. Megan, who recently turned 20, has so far seen success. ‘I don’t feel as shy or as scared to go places and do things,’ she said. She hopes to lose another 50 pounds before her 21st birthday. The surgeon should be contacted in case of any abnormal and prolonged symptoms.
