The pros and cons of weight loss surgeries
By AprillBrandon in Pop Goes the Culture
September 28, 2009

With obesity on the rise in the U.S., so are weight loss surgeries such as gastric bypass and lap band.

According to a study by the University of Michigan Health System, "From 1996-2002, bariatric surgery increased seven-fold, tripling among youth."

I'm working on a pro/con story about weight loss surgery and looking for both people who have undergone such a surgery and also people who have lost weight by diet/exercise to interview for the story. I want to know your thoughts and opinions.
