I'm 8 months out, I lost a lot of my hair....I got a nice wig to wear a couple of months ago to help hide the balding spots. Now I don't go out with out it. They lady matched it really sell to my natural hair. If you can afford it i suggest go invest in one. Does wonders to our self esteem.

My mother, sister and I got the WLS, very supportive team we had!

I am 2 months post and I haven't experienced dumping. But I don't have a lot of sugar cravings either, only when Aunt Flo comes around. Even so, nutella and m & m went down fine. I guess it is different for everyone.

The issue I do have is, waiting to long to eat, then I am so hungry that I practically scarf my first few bites and then it happens. I gets "stuck". The pressure one feels sucks bad , and so then I toss it up to feel better.

Suggestion, don't stray from your diet. If you must have something, have it in very small quantity. But just remember, it is empty unnutritional food. It will give your body no energy. Energy and fat burning is all we need.

I do say this.... don't trust a fart.

Haha very true regarding the fart! I'm afraid to do so now!

My sister got sleeved last July, I was sleeved March 9th and our mother will be sleeved April 20th. I got to say we are happy to have each other as support. On the other hand we haven't told a lot of people. Only about 3 other people than us know. And they have been so supportive.

I hope that you family will turn around and rather than gossip be a support system for you. This is definitely not an easy way out.

Best of luck

I was in there for 45 mins, went by real quick.

I have my Vitamins and Protein Powder. Any suggestions on what to take the hospital with me?

Also what kind of broth do to you recommend, Jello, yogurts etc.

Thanks for any help, I'm going to buy everything today and tomorrow.

Also I know that at some point during WLS people lose their hair, any suggestions on how to keep that to a minimal?

Sorry for all the questions!

All my paper work gets submitted tomorrow. I have a surgery date of Feb 9th if all gets approved.

Has anyone gone through this with medical in California? Any info will be helpful! Thank you
