This surgery so far has been a blessing, a feel great, more energize and mega inspire to continue doing the right thing which is getting a healthier life!

Gorgeous!! Congrats!!- Im Preparing To Be Bald!
Omg ladies I had to replay to this threat! I'm starting to have hair lost, an it's scaring the heck out of me, I was so confident that I would probably be one of those lucky ones that don't experience such a problem but that isn't the case. I'm 3 months and 2wks out had lost 70lbs so far and overall been doing great, except that now I started to noticed the hair lost issue. Thankfully I had thick hair, but still I'm very concern. I need to know from the ones that already had this problem; how long it last? Did you lost all the hair/completely bald? What is the best solution/treatments? And did it grow back like normally or more healthier than before?- Been A Stranger!

I been soooo busy working a full-time job, going to school at night, plus trying to live a hole diffrent life (MY NEW HEALTHY LIFE) it's not easy but IM POSITIVE that I CAN DO IT!!!! Plus my reward will come at the end of this 2yrs sacrifice I don't even remember what was my last TGIF wt but this is my current WT info: Surgery date 04/02/12 wt 265lbs Today: 3 months and 1wk out 190lbs yay!!!

Thanks babygirl we are all heading to the same healthy path- Clothing Size?
I'm two months out, pre-op pants size was 22 now I'm 14, shirt size was 3x now I'm large still can believe it! I thought to myself that I was goin to star buying new clothes at least when I get to 180lbs but apparently I should at least buy some now b/c my old clothes are too big and my pants fall down all the time. I'm very excited w/all this positive changes!!!- Feeling Like A Failure!
