More U.S. kids having obesity surgery

I read the article about the obesity surgery for children. According to the article, there has been tiny number of that surgery because obese children were not so many and the surgey was too risky. Recently, however, the trend is changing. The level of surgical technique are getting high and obese children are increasing. Some doctors examined children how they respond to various types of weight-loss surgey and find that the death rate became lower and complication is minor. In that way, one girl, who could have not do exercise because of her heart problems, could lose her weight 100 pounds from 250 pounds by installing the band. Although it became easier than before, it's still dangerous especially for young people, there are some opposite doctors saying that it's not the solution of obese problem.

I don't agree with obesity surgery for children. Even doctors say complications are minor, it's not minor for young people. For only losing weight, it might be a good way. However, the obese problem will be not solved by surgery. Because it comes from many social problems, for example life style, exercise, food, and so on. We should control our own body by ourselves before we get over-weight.
