You may have heard or read about 'Billy Robbins', the teenager who has unfortunately been nick-named 'half ton teen' by the mass media, who at just 19 years of age topped the scales at an incredible 800 pounds, making him the world's heaviest teenager.His plight has been well documented in a TLC special called, imaginably, 'half ton teen'. Billy had been told he had literally months to live if his weight wasn't drastically reduced and the only option for such drastic weight loss was to undergo weight loss surgery.July 23,2010
This was orginally produced for Discovery channel in the US .I saw the entire documentary in 2009.Can't find any update on Billy Robbins.It seemed to me,this kid was doomed to failure.He had the emotional maturity of an 8 year old and 8 year olds don't have the cpacity to take on the responsibility of making a lifestyle change. Gastric bypass surgery is wrought with complications.Many people die of a heartattack within the first few years after having the procedure done
