Britain’s Fattest Teenager Loses near 300 Pounds

The youngest person to ever have gastric bypass was Britain’s teenage, Malissa Jones.  At age 16 she ate 15,000 calories per day and at her age it is recommended to only eat 2,000!!!  Instead of buying herself her favorite candybars she should have been considering a folding treadmill!!  The article stated, “She was so hooked on eating she’d even raid the freezer in the middle of the night and gobble down partially-thawed raw burgers.”

After reading the article Malissa said that she ate her emotions because of all the family trauma going on in her life.  Although there were risks for someone as young as her to receive a gastric bypass she decided that she would have died without it either way.
