I opted for the LapBand 12 yrs ago, had many rough days, and only lost weight the first year. I regret that surgery because I ended up constantly sick and suffered over a year because of the pandemic. They removed it last year and I'm having all types of digestive problems - GI said I have Gastroparesis which they think the Gastric Sleeve is the best course of action. See the surgeon next week. They took me off vegetables and salads. I hope I can eat those again after my healing wait period. now I'm gaining weight like crazy and sugar levels are out of whack. I qualify for the WL surgery just from my BMI and comorbidities. I hope not creating a worse problem.

Hello again Coop.
I'm doing just peachy,
So, what kind of issues is your wife having? You are intending to have WLS still, are you worried about similar issues? How does she feel about you having WLS?

I had surgery at the beg of September and the last few months have been awful with the amount of hair I’ve lost...thankfully (I guess) I had very thick hair to begin with but it is so thinned out it’s very depressing...that’s the truth for me not sugar coated...but it’s going to be different for everyone and you can’t predict what will happen...I haven’t heard of anyone losing so much they have bald Patches or anything but I suppose there must be extreme cases as there are minimal cases as well...my question is whether or not I will ever have my till thick head of hair ever again...that is what would interest me is what happens a year or two down the road and whether it’s temporary or permanent..?

You look great!!

Today is day 15 for me. I'm struggling with my energy level and I also feel like I either pulled a muscle in my ab or I have an incisional hernia. I get major pain when I engage that muscle. I'm praying it's just a strain.
I'm on soft solids and doing well. Trying to get in my Protein. To date I've lost 24 lbs but the scale hasn't moved in a few days. Hoping it's the three week stall everyone talks about.
