Children- Getting Lapbands

I'm writing about this because we women are mothers too. I saw on Oprah the other day about these children that were overweight getting lapbands. There are advantages to it because they do lose a lot of weight and they don't have other children picking at them for being overweight. I'm not talking about a little overweight but obese. I don't know if I would have my child do it or not. It is better as far as future heart problems or whatever could happen. If you had a child that was really overweight would you have them go through the lap band surgery?
