  4. I'm 4 months post op and just started tp notice a lot of hair loss :'( I was hoping I was going to be one of the lucky ones that it doesn't seem to be so drastic but I'm beginning to worry already :'( I do very well with my Protein & Vitamin intake daily but I have been reading it just doesn't matter whrn it comes to the hair loss. My main concern now is how long will this take before it stops falling out? I have read up to a year! There will be NO more hair on my head way before a year :'( I do use Nixon shampoo & conditioner to help with the regrowth :-) Any secrets anyone has to help me get through this would be great!! :-) Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App

  6. Holy moly!!! You look amazing! What an accomplishment Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App
  7. That's for sure!! I have the same fear.
  8. O ok that makes sense. I Didn't know that. It will all work out you will be skinny before you know it
  9. I had gastric bypass10 months after I had to have the lapband emergency removed. I have Tuft!!! It was my insurance requirements but the surgeon recommended it. When I had the band put in I also had to do 6 months and I had Harvard Pilgrim. My bariatric Team had control over making the final dicission if they thought I was ready at the 6 month point. I would think most people are because that's what there job is lol.
  10. Mine was also a revision. I hope it all works out O hope the three way call does the trick!
  11. I had to go through the 6 month pre-op!!! I didn't have to meet with surgeon other then the very beginning & at the very end. The process is to prepare you and teach you how to eat proper and make better decision. It also is mentally setting you up for success by meeting with the psychologist. It is very hard to play the waiting game but I think its all for our on good. I also had to loss 10% of my starting weight in those six month to proof to them this is a challange I was reading to take on. Good luck with your process Sent from my SGH-T999L using the BariatricPal App
