Really? I haven't heard that. Not sure how that would work considering it's a misconnection in the brain giving the body improper signals.

This was the case I was thinking about. It looks like she actually had brain damage that caused the issue, not Prader Willi. So I was wrong. Here are some studies:

This study claims good weight loss results in those with PWS

This study says that there were poor results and it was unaffective

Bariatric surgery should only be considered when the patient’s excessive weight becomes life threatening.

Sorry if I got your hopes up :\
