My insurance made me do 6 month diet with nutritionist and after 3 they approved the surgery????

The hair loss is freaking me out! They say 4-6 months are the worst. I am almost 5 months I have very fine hair to begin with I feel like I am going bald. Any suggestions!???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also went to the movies two times less than 14 days post op my friend bought popcorn thought I was going to die but I made it!! 2nd time I was ok but really was glad I didn't try any. I also had 3 retirement dinners I had Water at. But, it was worth every minute I thought I wanted to eat because today I am doing great 72 lbs down since March 15!!

I would do it again in a heartbeat. I went back to work after 21 days! No problem. chicken appears to be the only thing I can't tolerate. If I eat too fast I know it. But, 72 lbs down in 5 months I will take it. No more diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea. Yay me! Good luck to all. Totally worth it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also struggled to have it done but March 15 I did and now down 72 lbs couldn't be happier. Would love to speak to someone about hair loss though. I knew it would happen but had no idea this bad. I have been taking Biotin since April. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The fun of shopping is euphoric! Best feeling ever! Going to Disney for Christmas can't wait to walk and not have to sit down and to ride all the rides!!

7 weeks post op! I have had no problems but I am afraid that now transitioning to regular food I am going to not lose weight. My surgeon does not believe in liquid protein after 3 week he wants you to get it in foods. So far so good my bloodwork excellent 6 lbs from losing 50 lbs. I too am afraid of losing my hair. It is thin enough. But, being healthy is so worth it. No longer a diabetic. Yay!! Good luck everyone

Congrats to you! I just had mine on March 15,2016. Would love to read your blog!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
