My final dr appointment was spent talking solely about changing my eating habits and exercising she told me they've had sleeve and bypass patients come back and ask for bands because they changed none of their behavior post sleeve and lost no weight I think alot of us (obesity people)think all we have to do is get the surgery and the weight will fall off we forget all the work we have to do to make it happen

I've dealt with hair loss before and almost had a nervous breakdown so I'm so happy to here that it isn't as common in AA women I hope I don't lose that much
317 was it for me I normally weigh around 270 I gained almost 50 lbs after changing medicine and couldn't lose it that's when I realized just how big I was and how little control I had over my weight
