  1. The emotions and anxiety are crazy - but be strong. Think positive and before you know it you will be on the "other side"! May 7 is my date and each day now is a roller coaster. I find that if I keep reading this site I will be fine. Go for it!
  2. Thank you everyone for the responses on hair loss. Am I too late to start with Biotin now as I have to stop everything in 5 days. Should I wait until after surgery? How much do I begin to take? Really appreciate everyones feedback.
  3. Congratulations on your decision. I will definately keep you posted as I am a May 7 sleever!
  4. I head to Mexico on May 6 for surgery on May 7....... Good Luck my Doctor is Dr Garcia.
  5. As I prepare for surgery in 13 days and the nerves are up and down, you start to hear stories. Has anyone out there had hair loss issues with this surgery. I know I cannot let everything effect me right now. But we are the most sensitve now. Just curious - does it grow back?
  6. I like your ticker! How do you import this in? I have always drank decaf coffee and my coordinator says it is ok pre surgery however post surgery not good until you heal. Good luck
  7. We need to speak soon. This is so cool. Going out to eat for my last special tonight! I wonder who will go first! Are you bringing a friend?
  8. I am May 7 and cannot believe how fast the time has come. Congrats to all.
  9. Thank Joni, I am actually liking the Premium Protein I purchased at Costco. But will probably order some for variety. How do you put the weight ticker on your profile?
  10. I am May 7 and just around the corner from liquids! Excited, nervous and proud that I took the step. Good Good Luck to you!
  11. Sleeve guru - I too am May 7 in Mexico. Lets talk soon!
  12. This is what I am worried about! I start my preop on Monday 4/23 and naturally work will be stressed out. I am already channeling good thoughts. Are the drinks you have good. I have not heard of them before? Where did you purchase. Keep holding on - I am pulling for you. Good luck, Carol
  13. I am May 7 and have a myriad of emotions. Excited, nervous, ready for change. My first challenge is getting thru the 2 weeks pre op plan with 2 crazy weeks of work! I am hoping that my stress levels do not go on overload and even more so go away with the surgery.
