I had my first visit yesterday, and the doctor would like his patients to lose some weight before surgery tohelp reduce some fat around our organs to make surgery easier and get us use to the new eating plan afterwards. hope this helps

Done, thanks for the info!!! hope it gets passed, as I am only in the beginning stages... First appt is tomorrow

You are doing great!!! I have my first visit on Tuesday with the bariactrix center in longhorne pa. i am so excited!!!!

Congratulations on your journey, I have my first visit with the surgeon on August 5th, I can't wait, my husband is behind me 100% and if insurance doesn't pay, i will do it out of pocket, even though it is very expensive,

I'm not sure if you will lose your hair after one year, but it does help your hair from falling out.

Welcome Eileen, I am also new here, and I have my first appt with surgeon on August 5 th. I'm not sure what to think, if insurance doesn't pay, I plan on out of pocket. hoping insurance pays. I wish I was having surgery tomorrow, but can't wait for August 5th. Good luck on your journey, looking forward to see your progress.

I am a hairstylist, and nioxin is a good product to use, you only have to use the shampoo and conditioner(If needed) the other steps help restore your hair, but the shampoo on a daily basis will help keep your hair from falling out. it will also help regrow your hair if it does fall out. you have to use shampoo everytime you wash your hair, so always use nioxin

Best of luck to you, hope to be on my journey soon

Hi, I am new to the board, I have an appointment on Tuesday August 5th, 2014. I went to the same bariactric center to see about gastric by pass surgery 10 and 1/2 years ago. I still to today regret not going forward with the surgery, my regular Dr. and my husband were not supportive of me, now my husband is on board, and even if I have to pay out of pocket, I am getting the sleeve done. I just hope my process goes fast, and my insurance pays
