now, i've been reading the forums, and i notice that there were not a lot of teenagers. does anyone think it's safe to have this surgery. im 16 and want to get it down.

Because weight loss should really only be for adults, in saying that you obviously didn't look hard enough because there are plenty of teenagers in the teenage forum - Not trying to be rude either

I think that at 16 you would be old enough, of course discussing it with your doctor first. Its never to early to make changes for the better. :scared2: wish i had done this when i was 16. good luck!
