ABSTRACT
We would like to thank Professor Inge for his commentary and agree with most of the comments. It has been said that the first step of a journey is usually the most important and often the most difficult. This case was the first in our collective experience and provided an extraordinarily difficult therapeutic challenge. The risk/benefit ratio of bariatric surgery is well established in the morbidly obese adult and is under current investigation in teenagers. The decision to undertake a sleeve gastrectomy in one so young and with such debility as in the current case was the Aristotelian mean of cost, benefit, availability, feasibility, and accessibility of therapeutic options. We agree that our work with this child has just begun!
