  1. My surgery was 8/2/12. I am down about 52 lbs at this point, and I swear about 2 lbs of that is my hair. It started coming out about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I realized somewhere along the road I wasn't getting enough protein, altho I was faithful with my supplements. I added back protein shakes and iron to my pill regime and today, today!! I noticed less hair loss in my hands, and brush. I am hoping this is the beginning of the road back, but have no idea if it is or not.
  2. Hi, I don't have diabetes, but my husband does. He was only slightly overweight, maybe 20 pounds at most, but his oral meds needed a boost, he needed to get his A1C number below 7, so the doc put him on the byetta shots. He has NO appetite. He eats cause I yell at him to eat , he says I am just not hungry. How come *I* can't get me some of that stuff... At any rate, his weight came down as did his A1C numbers, so everyone is happy, 'cept me I caught what he lost. Oh well, is always the case.
