Default Feb 4th Oprah on Gastric Bypass

Tomorrow Oprah takes on teenage obesity and a few stories on GBP. Hope we don't get slammed again...lets see! ...details on the show:

MONDAY'S SHOW: Should a 340 Pound Teenage Have Gastric Bypass Surgery?

How far will a parent go to help their child lose weight? Our cameras follow a 340-pound high school student into gastric bypass surgery. And, we'll hear why a mom took her 13-year-old across the border to Mexico to get gastric banding. Then, when her son hit 363 pounds, one mother took extreme measures and made a controversial decision. Plus, a former teen gastric bypass patient shares what unexpected pitfalls she now faces five years later. Doctors and parents weigh in on gastric surgery for teens -- is it wrong or a crucial intervention?
