  1. I was banded in January and I am constantly losing my hair. It is combing out each day. My hair has shed so much that once a thick head of hair is now extremely thin. Any suggestions.
  2. Thanks Leesalu, I finally broke down and called my Dr. at 6 a.m. He told me to take Duccolax and Duccolax suppositories. I was able to move my bowels a bit!
  3. Can I take a EPSON Salt laxative?
  4. Tracy, I am sore too, it kind of feels like a 5lb weight is sitting on my stomach! I wish you the best! Keep in touch!
  5. Dr. Singh is my doctor, love him! So far so good! If I could explain the discomfort it is like a 5lb weight sitting on your stomach and you can't get it off. Other than that everything is fine!
  6. I was banded at 9:30 am in Baltimore, MD yesterday (1-14-11.) I was able to go home around 7 p.m. I feel good just a little sore. I think that gas is on its way. I am currently taking Gas-X strips...any other suggestions!
  7. Has anyone experienced hair loss during the liquid diet process?
  8. Good Luck on your surgery, I will be banded on the 14th January! I am super excited! What are the Protein shakes from costco called?
  9. Thank you for your help. I didn't know that I could add fruit! I will try that with my next shake! Thanks again
  10. Thank you for your advice! I will shop at costco so I will sure look for the Protein shake. I have tried the crystal light also! Thanks for everything!
