    Never been under anesthesia

    It was the same for me! I was way nervous about anesthesia than the surgery itself. Once it was time to go to the OR they gave me what they called the "I don't care" meds. It hit immediately and literally all cares went out the door. I vaguely remember someone telling me to scoot myself off the bed and onto the table then I remember the mask they said was "oxygen". Next thing I know I was in the recovery room half out of it. And then up to my floor. The OR and pre-op nurses were so nice. We all just jokes around for a while until it was time to go.. I had a really good experience and I hope yours goes well too!

    @orionburn Ok, I'll cop to this. I can't claim being innocent on this one. So in Houston, we have this morning drive shock jock team -- Dean and Rog. And they are beloved! Every week they have a "Cocktail of the Week" that they do on the show and the vote is always to "spit or swallow". LOL. So not exactly original. But hell, I don't care who you are, that's funny.

    Surgery in less than 24 hours!

    When I start to feel fear or anxiety about which is often accompanied by tears, it tells me that whatever I'm doing or about to do means a lot to me. so if your feeling that way about surgery this is a good thing (in my book) that means this new journey is something you're taking seriously. Hang in there and in times of true Emotional doubt hang onto your Logic, this is a safe procedure with amazing results and unless everyone who has ever received bariatric surgery is lying to us, we have a bright, healthy new life waiting for us just around the corner. All my best

    Good luck!!! You got this. Crying releases endorphins (the feel good, mood lifting hormone)--so all's good. You're normal, ya weirdo!

    Kathy51, are you taking your vitamins? Have you had blood test yet to check your vitamin levels? You may also be ,ow on vitamin B or D, and to be low on these can also caus hair loss. The chewable, liquid, or melt vitamins are the best to absorb. There are also patch vitamins. All of the choices are available also on Amazon. As far as protein goes, you don’t have to do fresh. Most of my protein, still comes from canned tuna or chicken, or soft eggs, and protein shakes. Canned meat is much easier because you can moisten it with Greek protein and just a small bit of mayo to get a better taste. You could also puréed carrots to put in it for more nutrients. The other thing that I did besides vitamins is a vitamin B injection once a week. After beginning this as well as my vitamin D was low (as shown with blood work) my hair loss stopped. When you do go for your blood work, remember to ask for a vitamin B and a vitamin D level, they are separate blood test from a CBC. But, a vitamin B injection, many places offer these injections,without blood work. I hope this helps, good luck.

    I am 3 months post op gastric sleeve (10/6/2017). I have lost 55 lbs. I am losing clumps of hair and realized I am getting nowhere near enough protein. I live on a US military base outside the US and it is difficult to buy a lot of fresh protein here. I have been bringing protein bars in my suitcase and I cannot buy shakes here either. I thought I was eating okay until I started losing so much hair. I just had to order Muscle Milk on Walmart.com and Amazon.com. I just cannot eat enough protein otherwise.
