Thanks! ! I feel better everyday. Where are you located? If you have more questions let me know....I am here to help and support with any information I have. I have not lost my hair just thinning out right now (be it alot), I have been told by the dietician that this is in part due to the surgery and as I eat more Protein should stop....I have also added Biotin to my Vitamins so that should help ad well.

I had this done on March 12, 2015 and a of this morning am down 91# in 5 months time....complications I have had are a follows, consumption of food (still a battle), eating enough protein (getting better daily), acid reflux(still taking Nexium daily), hair loss but all these issues are improving, just takes more time then I thought it would. Taking all the vitamins has also become easier. I did have blood test done to check levels and everything is within the correct limits... I do get asked if I would do it again and my answer is YES!

I had this procedure done exactly 30 days ago.....no complications from surgery but there are challenges as with anything. ...for me it is taking all the vitamins.
