I'm on day 7 from surgery. I'm feeling great and excited about the future. Wondering about OA....are there others that go to OA and find it helpful? I've tried it a few times and just didn't find it helpful. Maybe I need to have a better attitude toward it or be more open.
If you go to OA, can you offer me some zoom meetings to attend?
Thank you,
Erin
I bought some in Italy to help me sleep (and get over the jet lag). Worked better than melatonin!

I use CBD oils and ointments all the time. They really work for me.

Teens can get WLS at our local children's hospital but it's at the end of a very long process for the entire family and there is tremendous support for everyone on the journey.
An alternative is the drug Topomax which helped my son lost 120lbs in a year when he was 15. He has kept 100lbs of that off for 3 years, so that counts as a success in anyone's book. The caveat to this is that it doesn't work for everyone.
Thanks for being a good sibling.

I bought a little container of neck/back relief cbd and honey cream at my supermarket.
Wow did it work !!! I feel sleepy and so relaxed like a noodle ..... this is GREAT!!!
I'd look online to see if there are surgeons that do excess skin removal using your insurance near you and also ask your bariatric surgeon for a referral
. He/ she needs to document rashes you may have rubbing and chafing and so forth . Taking dated pictures and sending them to your surgical team will help you get insurance approval faster . But honestly you should have no problem with what you've lost ( CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! ) 
If you're near NY City I can refer you to an amazing bariatric surgical team who are experts in getting instant insurance approval for not just bariatric surgery but excess skin removal too ... PM me if you like
Congratulations on your accomplishment! I don't know that there's really much that can be done with the excess skin besides skin removal surgery. You should work with your doctor to document any physical issues that you may have because of the excess skin (rashes, back pain, quality of life, etc) and see if you can get approved for surgery. Good luck!!

That's a really tough scenario, no matter what. At 15, she doesn't have the maturity level and total comprehension to deal with it effectively. I've seen people a great deal older than 15 that couldn't handle it.
Are there other possibilities such fat camps, schools, etc available?
