> How's this one for you...... we know a woman whose daughter is ADHD. The daughter is now in 6th grade. She was a mediocre student at best before medication, but once on medication she did really well, her concentration was good, her grades improved, and she wasn't as hyperactive.

> The daughter was just a bit overweight, and the mom was obese. For a variety of reasons, the mom decided to have bariatric surgery, and over a year lost about 100 pounds. She looks and feels good, although she does have some problems because of her inability to absorb the proper amount of nutrients.

> About a year ago, the mom decided that the daughter needed to learn to cope with the symptoms of her ADHD, and she didn't want her on medication anymore, so she cut her down, then cut her off. Along with her grades suffering, the hyperactivity came back, and she gained about 15. She asked her mom if she could go back on the meds. The mom said, "this is not the way we lose weight." I couldn't believe the selfish message she was sending.That subject did make me blush.. or flush I should say.
Oh my God that is awful! How frustrating for the Daughter, that's abuse. It's like denying a wheelchair to someone who is unable to walk.
Oh that's so cruel...This is her whole life..
Oh that poor girl. Maybe she should act so terrible and do so many pre-planned "impulsive" things that her mother will get exasperated and let her go back on them.Back to your other question, I think reductions are covered by insurance here if they are causing health problems. I'd have to develop back pain though, right now all I have is esthetic pain..
