Try your best to eat alot right now to build yourself up. Dont worry about gaining weight, just eat.
There will be many appointments coming up. You will want to visit your dentist for a check up and flouride trays. Get a hearing test, full blood count with thyroid and testosterone levels. Thats only a few things that will need to be done prior to any treatments. Read and educate yourself so you can advocate for yourself. Take someone with you to appointments.
Best wishes!
