Gastric Bypass at 16?!?!

Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson describe Sam Fabrikant's struggle with weight gain and his frightening experience with gastric bypass surgery at the age of sixteen.  After reading about Sam's experience, do you think that gastric bypass surgery was the best option for him?  What were Sam's alternatives?  What should the age cutoff be for this type of surgery?

  1. No I think liposuction would have been a better option for Sam because of how little he gets to eat now.
