Ok Well where do i start!! I want u to do this first before u even think about getting this surgery ok!! Im 15 years of age and just got the surgery 3 weeks ago and have lost 26 pounds.!! It is defintall not easy though!!! First since u are still younge try some diet and exercise for a while and if not then u can start thinkinga bout this surgery!!! In Valencia there is a place called Top Surgeons!!! The surgeon is named Shahram Salimitari!! He is a great man!! He will do it to kids under certain circumstances!! U have to be in a horrible weight and u have to act very mature!!! If he feels u are mature enough he will guide u through everything!! But if u want to meet him he meets at the place in valencia on certain days for free to talk to anyone interested and does a little ceminar!! Defintally try it out!!! Give them a call the website is www.topsurgeons.com!!! But the actual surgery will take place in beverly hills ok hope i helped!!
