My daughter is 20 and weighs 89 pounds. She has lost from 94 pounds. Always, she has been thin. She is 5 6 . She cannot put on any weight and her appetite is limited. We have had her tested by gastro doctors and all checks normal. Are there reputable hospitals or centers in the southeast that specialize in these kinds of issues?
