Is it common for adolescents to have gastric bypass surgery?

It is not very common now. It's more common now than it was ten years ago. It is becoming more common. I just heard a recent commentary on the radio of the number of students in schools, high school, that are overweight. And it's increased, 50% over the last ten years. So it is becoming a much, much bigger problem in adolescents now.
