A new study shows that gastric bypass surgery for weight loss is working just as well in adolescents as it does for adults, if not better.Dr. Thomas Inge, chief of pediatric surgery at Children's Hospital (Aurora) Colorado who led the study, says teens are able to reverse the health conditions that are associated with obesity, such as Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, much more efficiently.The results show early intervention can lead to better long-term results, he said. But it's not for everyone — about 8 percent of American teenagers would qualify."It's not just 30 pounds overweight, it's more — more like 75 to 100 pounds overweight, with an identifiable complication of the obesity," Inge said.Some doctors are hesitant to try the procedure and are concerned about the surgical risk, he said. They want to make sure the teens get enough nutrients with the new restrictive diet.Inge said he hopes the research will lead to more access for teenagers who want to explore the option. He posted a video about it that has had more than 8.5 million views.Sixteen-year-old Dustin Vogelbacher says he is glad he had the surgery. His mom, Stacey Force, was against it at first."It worried me a little bit because it's such a lifetime change that at 16, 17, life is so different than it's going to be you know in your 20s in your 30s," she said.Eventually the family supported it. Vogelbacher says he wants to inspire others: He posted a video about it that has had more than 8.5 million views."It was the best decision of my life," Vogelbacher said."Stay positive and love your life because you only got one. So it's live life to the fullest," he said. 1672

A real-life Grinch took nastiness to a new level after snatching a gift from a doorstep and leaving a sarcastic "thank you" note for the victim.Hilary Smith ordered a Christmas gift for her boss and had it delivered to her snowy home in St. Paul, Minnesota. But she never saw the package."I looked down, and there was a piece of notebook paper folded neatly on the top step, where the package probably should have been," Smith told 443

Across the country, more states are legalizing marijuana.Now, more people are opening up about getting high and getting behind the wheel.“I feel more focused than when I’m sober,” Caleb Occelin said of driving while under the influence of marijuana. “It eases my mind. It makes me focus on everything.”Others, however, say they know better than to mix cars and cannabis. “Do not smoke weed and drive,” said marijuana smoker Sam Lee. “We all know we can barely think straight instead of drive.”Now, a team of medical professionals is studying the dangers of smoking and driving.“There’s been increasing concern about the potential of public health impacts of people using cannabis while they drive or shortly after,” said Dr. Michael Kosnett of the University of Colorado Denver.Kosnett is teaming up with Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety on a study about the effects of cannabis while operating a motor vehicle.This study tests three focus groups: daily smokers, occasional smokers and non-smokers as they go through tests measuring reaction times, hand-eye coordination and short-term memory.More than a year into the study, the team has hit an unexpected road block: they can’t seem to find occasional smokers.“As for people who just used it occasionally, like on a weekly basis, that was probably less than one-fourth of the people,” Kosnett said.This study is still in process. Kosnett has not yet released the findings.Denver Police Sgt. Alan Ma, however, doesn’t need to know the results. He says he knows from working his nightly beat that driving high is dangerous.“Their perception and reaction times are delayed,” Ma said about people who drive while high on marijuana. The Denver Police Department wrote 63 citations in both 2016 and 2017 for marijuana-related DUIs. 1794
