I'm having surgery in a couple of weeks (scared, excited ...). I did Hcg a couple of years ago and was on 500 calories a day for 30 days - 3 months later, I started losing huge clumps of hair and it lasted about 2 months. However, it eventually stopped and then grew back. I assume I am one of the people who will lose a bunch of hair, but I will eat (or drink) all my Protein and hope for the best - AND I know it will grow back. I am also starting menopause - a lot of people complain about being cold so I am hoping I'll keep warm with hot flashes!

Hi All! AnnMarie1957, my surgery is July 18th as well (in Atlanta). I'm very excited. About the letter of medical necessity, I wrote the letter for my doctor, printed it on white paper, and hand delivered it to her office. I asked her to just copy it onto her letterhead, sign it, and return it to me in the enclosed stamped envelope. I included all my conditions, dates for conditions, everythihg. She was NOT helpful or supportive but I had to have that dang letter.

I'm 7/18. I'm excited and scared. I am glad but also a little concerned because I do not have to do a pre-op diet and my surgery is outpatient surgery. Anyone like that?
