Thanks ladies. The information helps tremendously! I see you had your surgery a little over a year ago. Can I ask how long it took for your hair to grow back? Is it as thick as it used to be prior to surgery or will it always be thinner? Does this happen because of a lack of Vitamins from food? Thanks so much for your help.

Hello, I recently began researching VSG after seeing someone who had lost 89 lbs in 5 months. I stumbled upon this forum which has been a wealth of information. Here's my story... I have a BMI of 32. I have struggled with yo-yo dieting for the last 15 years. In the end, I always gain it all back and then some. I am about the highest I've ever been now (180 lbs) and so frustrated. I feel like I will never be able to conquer this feat on my own. I'm interested in Dr. Aceves performing the procedure. My concern is whether he would be willing to perform it on me since my BMI is on the lower side. (I don't have any other real medical issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.) Anyone out there with my circumstances had the procedure done? Also, what is the approximate turn around time for scheduling surgery from the initial point of contact with him? P.S. Do you really lose your hair?? I saw that somewhere I think. :thumbup: I appreciate any help anyone can give. You all are such an inspiration. Misty
