Of course proper diet and exercise are important, but in a culture where fat is a diease and no one wants to say fat or obese we are left with wait and see.
Wait and see until adulthood before taking intervention more or less ensures children will continue thier food patterns and will be left on the sidelines watching.
I want to be clear, surgery is not something to be taken lightly but neither is obesity.
If a family cant or won't change behavior by 12, it is time to think about alternatives.
I'm talking about alternatives that might allow an obese or morbidly obese child to participate in activities that they cant now. I'm not talking about these kinds of interventions for a husky kid who might grow out of it.
