  6. I was Banded on 8/17/10 and have had absolutely no hair loss , in fact my hair is super healthy! Hair loss is usually a concern of sleeve and bi-pass patients.

  14. Zen , it could be true that you are losing inches more than weight. Since july ive been getting measured every friday and ive lost an incredible 49.50 inches , ive lost weight too but no where near the amount of inches. I went from a size 12 to 8 , and now in a size six dress!!! ive lost about 31 lbs since july. Ive learned that not everyone loses the same way and you need to find a way that your body loses.
