akusah got a reaction from byebyebelly in Any October sleevers?
YEA! I. Received my surgery date. It is October 22, 2013 with Dr. Phillip Price at Mt. Carmel Bariatric Center of Excellence, Columbus OH! I have been anxious and will probably have the jitters for a while. I am going to have my pre-op testing Oct. 10.

I am glad to read this thread. No one ever mentioned Hair loss. Luckily. As an African American woman I used to wear a pretty bald look in a very short afro. I also occasionally rock wigs as my hair is already thin in the top front area (a male patterned baldness). Now I will at least be prepared to go back to my previous look. Thanks for sharing. I am per-op looking at surgery in the last two weeks of October.

akusah got a reaction from No game in Things I will NOT miss about being fat.
I have everything that has been said here, but most embarrassing is profuse sweating when doing something physical or in public..
Also because I already have four sizes of clothing, deciding which size will fit me when getting ready to go somewhere.

I was approved for Feb. 7 but I ended up getting blood clots in my lungs. My vascular specialist said I needed to wait at least six months. I am now cleared for my surgery. My doctor is Dr. Phillip Price at Mt. Carmel Bariatric Center Of Excellence in Columbus Oh. His assistant is calling me this week to give me a surgery date in the last two weeks of October. He is coordinating with the vascular doctor to insert a screen to keep any clots that form from traveling to my lungs to heart. He also indicated that the weight loss will lessen chances of clots in the future. I am nervous but want this bad. I am at 267 lbs and am 5'5".
