You are only 26! And you are smart enough to know at your young age that things are going to go around and around in circles. the merry-go-round of dieting can have a disastrous effect on the body...
You have two options..continue in the path that brought you to this decision or jump in with both feet and end the misery that will come upon you... Down the road your health will suffer in some way and your self esteem will be damaged forever..
People who don't know you will see to that....I wish I had done this years ago and had not gotten so sick that it was the last recourse....
I look at this journey as giving my life back to me...If you have had enough of the abuses to your mind body and soul you will consider this a gift...A life long gift if you use it properly.....
I think your really smart to know now you need the help from the sleeve so that you will have a good, healthier and happier life in the future....
I think you are far ahead of some of us who waited until it was the last thing we could do because we tried it all....
All the best......

Sleeved May 8--total lost 25 lbs. Lost 13 lbs preop and 12 post op so far. Stalled for the past 8-9 days. Hopefully, things will move along again soon.

Losing the hair is bound to happen. Those of us who have thick hair won't even be able to tell other then lots more hair in the brush and in the shower...then after a few months lots of tiny re growth sticking up. Those with thin hair should think about shorter hair cuts for a while, along with going with highlights and lowlights to add depth. There are also a lot of great hair extensions out there that are easy to clip into your hair. If you get real hair then you can die it the same color as your real hair on your head. I would rather invest in something tangible then spending money on all of those Vitamins and special hair treatments that really don't work. Good luck everyone!
