  4. i am in the middle of obtaining approval. hoping to have insurance approval with surgery in december 2010. it's taken me a little more than a year to finally decide this is my best option to good health. i am a nurse and the biggest hurdle was facing the fact that i was not going to be able to "fix" this myself. in fact, it was a horrible admission to myself that i am this broken. but, now i have made the decision and am excited, anxious, weary, and hopeful. that list is not all inclusive of the multitude of emotions i am having every single moment i breathe right now. questions that i need to hear answered from women who've had the surgery. (please!!) i'm not finding any research to the answers. 1. with vsg is the loss of weight 'all over' or mostly abdominal fat first? 2. what is the incidence of hair loss? (vanity) 3. i'm reading that vsg has a slower weight loss than r&y; does this mean that there is less excess skin since in theory the skin will have more time to shrink? 4. for those that did not have the gallbladder removed, have you had problems and how many had to have another surgery later to remove it? 5. what is the loss to breast tissue, meaning, will they significantly be diminished in size? (this is the other thing that vanity is giving me fits about) thank you for your help in advance. deb
