[quote=Anonymous]I am so so ashamed of these boards for the way people are attacking OP.  If you don't have children with special needs -- and I suspect you don't -- please go away.  You are awful, judgmental people.

Why OP's post belongs here:

1.  Her DD had a head injury -- bing, bing, bing medical challenge.
2.  Her daughter had a hormonal disorder.  Bing. Bing Bing.  Medical disorder.  So what if it resolved, her DD is still carrying around the weight form that disorder.  We all know that childhood obesity carries over.  The good news is that OP's daughter has lost a substantial amount of weight.  She is addressing the problem.  In spite of the fact that this girl is dealing with the long term effects of a serious disorder, and dealing with it pretty damn well -- you all see the need to shame her and her mother with these attacks.
3.  Even if none of this were true, even if this was only a question about how to deal with doctors, who better to answer that question than those of us who have had to deal with medical professionals for our kids over and over again.  We have advise to offer.  OP asked for this advise.  There was nothing inappropriate about that.

I know that DCUM is a place where people feel free to judge others and shaming them about their weight is a big fat way they do this.  But not here, in the SN section.  If you don't have a child with SAN you are the one who doesn't belong.  And if you can't be supportive, please go away.

OP, you sound like a great mom.
