My hair started falling out at 3 months. and hasn't stopped yet. Thank god its curly/wavy it fools people. But my elastic is telling me I have lost over a 1/3 of my hair. I can wrap it around my hair 4 times when 2 was good before. But I am seeing the spiky new growth. Maybe I should cut it a bit shorter. May help in the fake fullness look I have been on Biotin since surgery. And never eat less then 80 g Protein. My hair started falling out at 3 months. and hasn't stopped yet.

I was sleeved on August the 6 and with my one month pre op diet I was down 31 pounds for surgery. And as of today I am only down 15 pounds......... I eat 80 grams of Protein plus a day, and get my 64 oz of Water. Feeling good, just a little sad at how slow the scale is moving..

Alright going to finally put a thread up. I am scheduled to have surgery on August 6 with Dr. Ortiz and OCC. Have been reading these forums since I made the decision on June 29. So much great information. I started at my heaviest of 289 on June 15, 2015. Thats when it pushed me over the edge to do something finally. I started doing very low carb as of July 1 and lost 18 lbs, then on the 26th I started my pre-op three shakes and 2 cups of greens a day and have lost another 7 lbs. So 25 down so far. Not hungry, just have heartburn every evening even with Zantac. I have sat with my 5 kids and asked if they had any questions or worries about my surgery and they all just said they want me to be happy and healthy. My husband is my greatest supporter. The irony is my mother. Usually my number one supporter, well not in this she thinks that Iam going to die and they are going to chop me up. (Its a Mexico thing I think) Anyways she is still coming as my support person but she is standoffish with me. I don't think she understands me because she is not fat. But enough of that. I am so excited and super nervous my dreams are all whack, I wake up and go WTF?? Hope to keep seeing lots of awesome posts, they answer all my questions without me having to post one myself.

Hello all I am new to this. but wanted to say congrats to everyone getting it done in August. I will also be getting my sleeve done on August 6. Sooooo excited
