My 13 year old daughter is 5'5 and weights 390lbs. I can't believe how big and fat and sloppy she has gotten. I have warned her about the dangers of over eating but she will not listen. She eats all day and all night. I have even caught her in the shower eating two whole chickens and a pan of lasagne!!
Now her weight is out of control and her life is in danger. I do not buy her junk food. She buys it on her own from her full time job at Citgo.
She needs to loose weight but is too lazy to exercise and eat right. I want her to have bypass surgery because I love her very much and do not want her to die. Should I let my 13 year old daughter have gastric bypass surgery?? Help please!

1st off what gas station hires a 13 year old full time???
I think you have a way bigger issue here than your daughter's weight. You say you love her, yet you refer to her on a public forum as big, fat, and sloppy! Maybe you need to consider that what you say to, and about, her is going to effect her way more than this weight. I can only assume that her self esteem right now is low and you using these words towards her is not going to help any.
I think you need to talk to her and let her know your concerns for her health. Make an appointment with a dietitian at your doctor's office. Work WITH your daughter on better eating habits and exercise. Only her doctor, after a full exam, will be able to tell you if surgery is her best option.

Aww....That's sad. Is she Bulimic? If not I would take her to the dortor and have the doctor tell her and you about whats going to happen is she keeps living this way. And if she trys to exersize what good it would do. Doesn't she have gym class too?? Well, any-ways I just wouldn't shove it in her face that she is Obbese (Fat) . Try to tell her slowly.
Hey the summer is comming up! Why not get her into swimming classes or just you and her swimming go to the nearest health club. I don't know where you live but where I live one of the health clubs are free on Sunday Nights!!! Try it!!!!!!! With her eatting the junk food just tell her no. Get her foods that look and taste junky but are really good for you.!!!!! See if this helps!!
I just read most of the answers and it seemes to me that you could be a fake I am not sure yett but I will keep looking....

1. make her take a shower with the door open so that u can make sure she does not eat in there.
2. make her turn over her paycheck from citgo
3. don't feed her for a few days at a time. with sips of water here and there.
4. tie her to the treadmill for 4 hours and make her workout as u supervise
if these measures don't work, go for the surgery

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you not have any friends that you can talk to? You need to get a life and stop asking stupid and ridiculous questions. If your life is really like the questions you ask, then you need some serious psychiatric help.

First of all...I don't think you should be calling someone that you love and are very worried about fat, and a slob.
You should sit doen and explain to her that her weight is life threatening, and that if something isn't done she will have serious mediacl conditions for the rest of her life.
You could also stop her from buying these things because if she is only 13 she herself cannot drive, so someone takes her to buy these un-healthy items.

how can you say these things about your own child! i think you need to go get some therapy and then try to help your child! really, think about how it makes her feel to hear that her own PARENT calls her fat and lazy! My God get some help before you permantly damage your relationship with your child and scar her for life! THINK BEFORE YOU TALK!

I think that this is a fake question.
You need to stop wasting peoples time by posting questions like this.
If your daoughter is this big for a fact than she would most likely take after you.
Your children become who there parents are.
