Youngest Person To Have Lap Band Surgery, 2 years old.

The parents of the toddler from Saudi Arabia who weighed 33kg (72lbs) and had a Body Mass Index of 41 sought help because he suffered sleep apnoea that caused him to stop breathing while asleep.



I was wondering if he suffers from that disorder that makes the body never feel full. I found out that it was something very similar to that. The child is always hungry. He suffers from, "Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare disorder present at birth that results in a number of physical, mental and behavioral problems. A key feature of Prader-Willi (prah-dur VIL-ee) syndrome is a constant sense of hunger that usually begins after the first year of life."
