  9. Hi there You are not alone at all! My BMI is 42.8 , and I am in a 6months program too. We have similarities. That same week in Jan I will have my 5th weigh in. I think about getting my sleeve done day and night. I ve lost 8lbs . Which I too had concerns about going under a BMI of 40 with only few co morbidities. But the six months are proving to be good for me. Its helping changing my old habits. I actually feel better when I'm eating right too. I'm now 3 quarters way through. Sounds like you are too. Keep your head up! Better health 2013 here we come! Happy New year!
  10. Welcome! You are not alone with your concerns. This is a good topic! I had a knee procedure before and was out the entire time lol. Woke up and they gave me more meds. Now I'm pre op too. As far as hair loss, I feel you. I once cut my hair short and was upset over it. My "Co workers said to me don't stress it's just hair." I took me to face this problem more than once to feel like my co worker. So, I understand how you feel too. So, I Started Biotin, Silica and a good Multivitamin for my hair issue. I can't wait for my sleeve. You gonna do fine! Be encourage We are here for support. Good luck!
