Weight loss school for teens

Over at Interactive Narratives I found a multimedia presentation on an academy specializing in treating overweight teens. It includes profiles of several students as well as showing what life at the academy is like.

Very interesting site. One of our DD has had a weight problem ever since she was a baby. The doctors never could find a reason for it. She finally had Gastric Bypass Surgery several years ago, but has suffered serious consequences since then.

I wish a place like this had been available to her, but I honestly don't know if we would have been able to send her away like that.

I'm sorry to hear that she's having trouble. I know several people who have had gastric bypass surgery with a variety of outcomes. It would be great if there were more options for treatment like this school.
