Hi at 4 months I started losing hair.... My hair got really thin around the crown of my head. The hair loss has really slowed down now. I will be at the 6 month mark in a few days. So yes my hair did thin a lot..... I have taken nothing for it. In my pre op classes we were told that biotin was really not a proven fact in stopping hair loss. I made sure to get in all my daily protein.... Never skip a beat on that... Best wishes Tina

Your story is amazing and like many others here. I like you was very "healthy" at 358 lbs. However, I also knew that would not last forever. I had the surgery almost'4 months ago. It was the best thing I have done for myself. My entire life has changed. Best Wishes.... Tina

3 weeks.... I waited for the incisions to heal.

Aj I told very few people myself before surgery. I did not want to hear any comments good or bad. I am now almost 3 months out...back to work and tell anyone who asks. I felt it was the best choice to say nothing pre- op and I know now it was a smart move. Now when people ask I take the opportunity to educate them. It was also true for me this web site has been a lifesaver... Best Wishes with your surgery aj..... I would just focus on that and your recovery. Trust me the rest will work out...... Take good care! Tina

I am 7 weeks out and I still have that experience Sometimes. it has lessened Some.
