I should have googled it before posting...lol...here's what the W5 website shows:
Two teens undergo radical measures to treat obesity, live normal lives
Regardless of age, obesity can bring on a raft of health concerns. But for children and teens, those health problems are often compounded by less obvious side effects. W5 follows two teens through a radical program to treat their obesity and help them find normal lives.

Watched it last night and it was interesting to see how different the two patients were in their attitude about the procedure. Would love to see how things go for both of them a year or longer down the line. Of course, they had the sleeve and not the rny but the girl seemed to take it really seriously and was totally determined and dedicated while the boy had more trouble with sticking to his diet etc. Overall I found it very helpful - thank you for mentioning it!
