I've read that Sleep Apnea goes away with weight loss. I hope so. I can't wait to sleep without a Bi-Pap machine!

I just got a tentative date of 2/19! Yay!!!

I think there's a complicated history of hair care and black women. Have you seen the documentary "Good Hair" by Chris Rock? It's a very funny, but accurate portrayal of African-American women and the hair care industry. I began wearing my hair naturally (partially) due to having extreme night-sweats. I'd roll my hair at night, only to have soaking wet hair in the morning. And while I love wearing my hair naturally, there are many African-American who would never consider doing so. Seems like self-esteem issues are connected to hair... A little more complicated than it appears, I think,

Hi, I'm new as well. I've considered wls for many years. Recent health concerns made me decide that it's a very good time to get it done. I've been reading the threads and found them to be very helpful. So far, I've found the forum to be more informative than the support groups I've attended. I've attended two bariatric support groups so far. I had the first appointment with my surgeon on Dec. 3rd. I've had an endoscopy and completed the psych eval. Now, I'm (impatiently) waiting to hear from my surgeon's office regarding a surgery date and a nutritionist appointment. I can't wait! How long does it usually take to get a surgery date?
