Everyone's talking about the new AAP Guidelines for pediatric obesity! While I do agree that bariatric surgery and/or medication assistance is sometimes warranted, I think the age limit for these extreme procedures should be higher. Maybe 15 instead of 13, and there needs to be more support services involved and required.
Here are the guidelines: https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/151/2/e2022060640/190443/Clinical-Practice-Guideline-for-the-Evaluation-and?autologincheck=redirecte
