Quote From: kuntrygalHi there friend! Glad to see ya here. I'm waving right back at ya! Took my oldest son for a check up appointment today. He will be 7 in October. He was 52 inches tall, weighed 100 lbs. They sent him for labs, to check his thyroid & for diabetes. Did a bone growth study xray. I have to take him to a nutritionist. I have 6 months for the doctor to see a difference, or they will send him to a gastroenterologist to deal with a "overeating problem". They said he is obese. So, needless to say, I am not happy today.
Hugs,
Karen
I'm so sorry hun, I had to deal with the same thing with my middle son, he was 106 at 7 yrs old, and the doctor just said he's a big eater, and did nothing. I thought he would out grow it, but he didn't, and now weight almost 300 pounds. He is living with me again and I have him on the program with me and he is loosing weight. I wish I had been smarter when he was younger so he wouldn't of went threw his teens as an over weight child, it was very hard on him. I am so glad your doctor is doing something about your son while he's young. Just remember hun, he's young enough to change his eating habits now. It may be hard on him at first but he will adjust quickly. And he will thank you for it when he's older. You know you have our love and support.
Hugs,
Ladean
