  12. Well I think a lot of is have PCOS. I think this is why we have been a little slower to lose. I did hit a lot of stalls along the way and it was very frustrating. I did go to the nutritionist and talk to them they really never said PCOS makes tou stall more but I think it does. Are you eating or dring much dairy? That seems to stall me. We can exchange numbers if you like. I am not sure how to do that privately. I'd love to talk to someone in the area going through the same journey. Well I think a lot of is have PCOS.

  13. I had my surgery October 7th 2014. My starting weight was 234 pounds I did not have a pre op diet. I now weigh 171 pounds. I have been a bit of a slow loser but I'm okay with that. I am still hoping to lose 15 more pounds and then have plastic surgery for a tummy tuck and a breast lift. Do you go to weight loss support group meetings and how do you like those. The couple I have gone to have not been great but they are okay.
  14. Can you tell me your start weight and where you are now?
  15. So when did you have your surgery?
  16. I've gone to support meetings at Mary Immaculate hospital in Newport News . 1st Thursday of the month at 6pm.

  20. Heads look bigger, lol. I have relaxed hair and had some shedding between months 3-6 but not a lot. Just take your vitamins and make sure your iron isnt low. If you are anemic, you will definitely lose a lot of hair. Best if luck to you all.
