I have lost SO much hair since my surgery in April. About a month ago (6 months post op) I started researching wigs. I now own 3 of them and I love them! My hair is starting to come back now, actually this weekend I will be getting a pixie cut to even it out. In the mean time I will be rocking the wigs. I am attaching 2 of the wig pics. Good luck!!!

Hello there April 2012 sleevers. I was sleeved on 4/4/2012 started out at 263, as of last week I am at 197. Good news is I hit onederlland. Bad news is I have been at that weight since sept 4th! That's one LONG stall! I hate it. Don't get me wrong I'm feeling great and am loving the shopping in the misses section. I love it when I reach for the XL and have to put it back to get the L, it's just my surgeon at my 5 months post op appointment said I can get to 150lb and that stupid scale won't move! Can it be 65lbs lost is all I can loose?

Thanks everyone. Bring on the wigs!

I Know that hair loss was part of the deal but this is CRAZY!!! I'm considering getting a wig. The only good thing is it only takes me 15 minutes to dry my hair and style it now, it used to take me double the time which means I probably lost half of it. Ugh! PLEASE tell me it WILL come back.

I started at 6 weeks CHEW CHEW!!!

I had my surgery on 4/4/2012. So let me start by saying EVERYONE IS UNIQUE. Right after surgery I was out of it on morphine and slept most of the time. The next day was bad. I was in pain and nausea set in because of the morphine. I had to do the swallow test and that was pretty bad too. All those feelings were the next day after surgery. That evening I felt much better watched TV in my hospital room and the nausea went away. The next day I felt even better now that I was off the morphine the nausea was gone and I had some apple juice. I ended up staying 2 nights before going home. No complications. Now about the pain, feels like I did some serious stomach exercise. First week energy wise... I took 2 hour naps EVERYDAY I had a friend stay with me that first week and on day 9 we went out to SAMs club and walked around for an hour and a half! I was so tired on the way back home I swore I was going right to bed for a nap but when I got home I felt so full of energy it surprised me. My friend went home that weekend and I started feeling better. By day 14 I was out and Around, cooking And going up and down stairs. If your hubby will be with you for the first week you will be fine. Don't do anything for a week except for drink your protien and water and nap. In 2 weeks you will turn that corner and feel great. I am about 3 months out now. I feel normal like nothing happened. I am down a little over 50LBS this weekend I crosses over to regular misses sizes and I have so much energy! Good luck to you and I wish you a quick recovery.

I have Cigna, they made me go through a 6 month behavior and nutrition education program and after I completed that I was aproved. Program started in september and I completed the program in march my surgery was April 4th. Good luck to you!

Thank you Dorrie

I'm 7 weeks out. The pain is Diffrent for everyone. I had my gall bladder out August 2011 and VSG ln April 2012. Gall bladder hurt a lot more and recovery was much slower. As far as pain from VSG I had pain the first week and was on doctor's prescribed pain meds and slept all the time. Week 2 I had pain but did not need the pain meds anymore, by end of week 2 I was almost normal. Went out shopping etc. tired, by the end of the day but nothing terrible. week 3 feeling great resuming all normal activities. Week 4 I went back to work, I had pain that week. Doctor said I "popped a suture" took Tylenol pain went away 2 days later. Now 7 weeks out, I feel like I had nothing done except for I lost 40 pounds and went from a size 20-22 to a 14-16.....NO regrets, I'd do it again in a heart beat.

So I'm about 8 weeks out and desperately "shopping" in my closet for the smallest items. About 2 years ago my hubby shrunk my favorite summer sweater by washing it and putting it in the dryer when it clearly stated DRY CLEAN ONLY. Because I loved it so much I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. Today I found it at the bottom of a pile of "will never wear again" clothes. To my surprise IT FIT ME PEEFECTLY!!! Had to share :-) enjoy your weekend everyone I sure am!

Going back to work for me after 4 weeks out I had pains too I called my doctor and they told me it was sutures melting inside and to just take Advil or Tylenol I took 2 doses and the pain was gone.
