I had the gastric Bypass August 1, 2013.. Best think I ever did.. Down 103#'s..

I had the gastric bypass August 1, 2013.. It was a great choice for me.. I haven't regretted it one day. I have lost 103 pounds. Starting weight was 230 I now weigh 127. My concern now is keeping it off. What do ya'll do to maintain your weight.

Unless your hair is very thin now you will not need a wig. I loss hair and at the time it seemed like a lot, but it actually was not noticeable to anyone but me. Don't worry it didn't last long. One thing I did was try to go as long as possible without washing my hair. I usually washed it every day and during the time it was falling out I washed it every other day.

I am sorry to hear of your troubles with the surgery. I had the gastric bypass on August 1st, 2013. I have had few problems. When I first had the surgery and was on all liquid it was fine. When I started trying to eat is when I had problems. I thought this was normal. Maybe I wasn't chewing my food enough etc., but when I finally told my Dr. they set me up to have my esophagus stretched. I actually had to have it stretched twice. Since I have been a lot better. I get nauseated sometimes, but not anything to stop me from doing anything I want to. I haven't felt this good in years. I am down 88 pounds.
