  3. I know I shouldnt be so vain but my hair I don't want to lose.... I think the fact ice heard all these stories makes me want to try my hardest to lose the 40 kilos I need to by maybe taking away some of the tips and tricks used after you have a bypass ie eating slow, drinking lots of water etc..... I'm scared as hell about losing my hair, teeth, constant vitamin checks... I know I sound ungrateful or whatever but I think I would never forgive myself if I didn't Seriouzly try and continue on my shakes etc and careful eating..... Excess skin doesn't bother me... But I'm scared of having this op done now
  4. I'm on 2 shakes a day now so when I start pre op I should be ok but yes that would be a concern for me too if I had diabetes
  5. Yes please do let me know.... What vitamins etc do you need to take????!!!
