Kennedy 0 #10 March 23, 2011 QuoteThat young boy has a Medical problem which goes beyond what he eats. I wonder if Lap-band surgery is an option. I don't know if it's medical or not. Doctors don't seem to think so. The problem is the kid eats more than two full sized adults, and so he is three times the size of a healthy child. There are always complicating factors, but like they said, more kcals taken in that kcals expended equals gain in weight. He's been to medical doctors. His parents need to see psychiatric doctors.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,584 #11 March 23, 2011 For this big a problem, when the parents are normal-sized, there's bound to be something besides lazy parents. And for those of you who believe in lack of personal responsibility as the source of all human problems, well, 3 is a little young to blame for lack of control. Parents of children with Prader-Willi syndrome have to chain the refrigerator shut and put locks on the pantry.

Kennedy 0 #12 March 23, 2011 Understood and agreed. i'm not blaming the kid. He doesn't know any better and doesn't yet have the self control to restrain himself even if he did. The trouble here is parents falling down on the job. ps - broken link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prader%E2%80%93Willi_syndromewitty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #14 March 23, 2011 Just looking at the child my first thought was that there might be an underlying condition, however if he'd been diagnosed as normal that just leaves the over fed option.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Incorrect. A lap band or any other sort of bariatric surgery doesn't force you to 'eat right', it limits what you can eat at any one time and bad eating habits can still overcome the limitations.

I don't need examples, I know 2 women who have recently had lap-band procedures. One is on her second try as she snapped her first one through over-eating. The second has already discovered how to over-eat even with the lap-band. shortcuts don't work-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, its still all about calories in energy out, some patients with bands get around it by liquidizing Mars bars and eating until the band stretches.

rhaig 0 #23 March 25, 2011 I got slammed by a bunch of lazy people for making this over-simplified statement. "losing weight (barring medical conditions) is simple. burn more calories than you eat, and keep your metabolism from crashing. " They all told me that losing weight wasn't easy. Sure... I never said "easy" simple is different from easy. There were a bunch of qualifications around it about how to eat, and what to eat, and how much exercise to do. But the bottom line boils down to the above.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
