I just saw a news story about new guidelines for approving WLS.
The overweight range has gone down, as well as the age of the candidate. The approval rate means teenagers and even younger people can have the surgery if they have comorbidities or certain medical conditions such as asthma. This could be life-saving news especially for teen girls, who frequently develop body dysmorphia as they hit puberty.
You can do a search for the news. It's all over the Internet.
