Mama has her hands full. Thanks for helping her Doctors! I hope the little boy gets the help he needs

I think about ten years ago, or so, there was a woman got an experimental brain surgery for weight loss. She'd had a gastric bypass and it didn't work. I always wondered how that turned out and why they don't try it for people with Prader Willie.

Food security is very important

[@annlarner9900]

where are the results of his test? is there a follow up - hope the family got continuing help x

Thanks doctors.i liked.

I hope he gets the help he needs. I'm not over weight but I still struggle with my weight. I can't keep a healthy weight. I weigh 79lbs I think anyway. Last time I checked. I can't keep weight on so I might be down. My clothes don't fit so I'm guessing I'm 73lbs now. Around there, not sure. I just hope I don't get to 66lbs again. Felt like fainting everyday. I hope this kid will be okay.

In britian the government pays for special homes for these adults Proper diets and caregivers thousands of dollars a week. In Australia there is no help at all

[@felixius891]

I feel like having Prader Willie doesn’t mean you have to be obese though. Parents just have to make sure to feed their kids the right thing to the right time and stick to it. Having a routine is very important, especially with Prader Willie Kids. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@thewrongshoes]

I’m pretty sure most of them become obese adults as it gets harder and harder to stop them from getting food

[@chickenwings6745]

Doesnt work like that! They feel like they are always Starving! Never full! So they want food and will do anything! It isn’t easy! There body also takes long to digest food! Also to lose weight!

[@chickenwings6745]

[@LittleSparklingStars]

Prader willi kids literally steal their siblings food and get into the closet and fridge. Their hunger cannot be stopped

[@ana09er]

Yes your right but they have MUCH LESS muscle tone than the average person and a VERY SLOW metabolism! Combine both of those with constant hunger and ALWAYS having your mind wrapped around food and can’t think of much else,…. There’s just WAY more factors to take into consideration here
