My daughter - 11 yrs old - will have surgery in Sept/Oct. She has lost weight recently - she is 5 ft 6 in and went from 98 lbs to 92 lbs in the last 3 or 4 months. I think this is a bit underweight - would this be an issue for her for surgery and would she need to gain some weight? I encourage her to eat anything she wants - within reason - but she eats little bits of food, all day. Dina
