[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the person who recommended a second opinion. I have been to a doctor who made a big deal of my weight, and then I went to a different one who didn’t say anything. My BMI is 24, my bloodwork is good, I do my best to be active. The first doctor was just looking for a problem where there was none. In terms of pediatricians they are supposed to look at a chart and see if BMI has been stable. Some don’t. Doctors aren’t perfect. A second opinion is no big deal. [/quote] You don't need a second opinion. Look at your child's weight chart trend yourself. (Ours are online. If yours aren't, ask for a copy to be sent to you.) Run the BMI numbers yourself. For kids, you can see their BMI percentile and there are online calculators. Very easy. 85th percentile or above is considered overweight. [/quote]
