    rdharri replied to wingedtamila's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    Just curious.. was your sister on Multivitamin with iron after surgery? I guess I'm just wondering if I should start some iron now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App

  13. Hairloss has begun! 4 mos post

    rdharri replied to NurseBec's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    Surgery October 4th here. I have been taking all Vitamins as prescribed and started shedding at about month 3. I honestly have not read anything that prevents it from happening. It's not the lack of Protein because years ago when I was on Adkins I had the same problem. I am hoping it is like that time. hair gets thinner but not bald.

  14. October 2016-Surgery Date. Where are you now?

    rdharri replied to Sleevie1981's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    Starting weight 245. Weight this morning 185 Surgery date October 4th. 5 ft.8 in. I don't know what I want my goal weight to be. I'm 56 and think I would be happy at 160. I try to get my Protein and drink between meals. Probably eat 5 times a day something. 3 mealsand 2 Snacks. I quit doing my fitness pal when my calories were always1000 to 1200 calories. I have never had regretted having the surgery. I am tiring of Vitamins. Some foods give me hiccups and sneezing. I'm associating th is with eating 1 or 2 bites more than I should. Wish I had done this 10 years ago! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App

  29. worried about hair loss

    rdharri replied to MSer07's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I'm only 16 days post op, but have been reading here for about 7 months. From my research there is nothing that prevents hair loss. Some experience more than others regardless of Vitamins and Protein. My friends that had the surgery had thinning but not to the point to buy a wig. I started out with thick hair hoping for minimal loss. The good side of the research was.....most people reported their hair grew back. Since I wanted the surgery so much, I put the hair worry in last place. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App

  30. I am having my sleeve surgery on Oct 20 ..any advice on what to bring to the hospital.

    rdharri replied to smiley1968's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I carried the pillow for the ride home that others suggested...great idea. What I should have carried that I didn't was.... soft bra without underwire. It took me about 5 days before the regular bra was ok. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App

    rdharri replied to Havasumoma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I also had an abnormal EKG. Had a nuclear stress test and everything was fine. It's good to know information either way. It's also comforting to know some programs are thorough and careful! Good luck. It was an easy test! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App
