    One Year + And Hair Loss- Help!

    I am with you on this problem! Also taking Biotin and getting plenty of Protein. I have blamed it on anesthesia during two small surgeries I have had this past year. (one on a sore hammer toe and on a broken wrist from a fall on the sidewalk.) I also was told it would grow back. I don't feel I can get a perm as maybe the harsh solution would make it all fall out. I've read during this past year of many others having this problem. . . . what is the solution?

    Good to get all that info in your head so the real questions come to mind before "Op" day. You will do well. Wishing you good health!
  6. Why would you question doing something for your health? When you see the weight leaving your body you will be so thrilled. Listen to your bariatric people & follow their guidelines. Walk, walk & walk into a happy banded future! :wub:

    It's About Me & It's For Me

    I'm with you on not running my mouth to everyone about my decision. I've had my lapband for a few years now and I know a friend always watched what I put on my plate and commented if I took a small second helping at a picnic. My son & daughter-in-law were not 100% in favour of my having it placed and finally I told them to "zip it up!" I have never been sorry I have it and would not give mine up for anything.

      Go to your profile and go to settings as you did before on the left scroll or when your profile comes up you can also go to my content and right above says what's on your mind , something like that and click it's like before just takes some getting used to , hoe this might help.

      I can comment on posts but if I try to post a new topic the curser moves forward but characters are transparent. Guess they are still working out a bug or two!

    Good that everything turned out okay. We all (including the surgeons) have an off day now & then. Hopefully not many, but I've learned not to jump too quick with my replies. Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and lots of leftovers!

    leaving

    I'm with you carolinagirl! (But if they want to leave why do these folks need to tell everyone about it? Why not just leave?)
  20. Why have they changed my address? I am living in Hoffman, Minnesota! (NOT Minneapolis, Minnesora.)

      In looking at many others it looks like they chose one city for each state to override our actual. Maybe to sort by state? Probably program designer has a problem!

    Happy Vet's Day To Us Too!

    :wub: I am a 7 year bander, a WW2 navy vet's spouse and have a grandson in Afghanistan right now. So I say "It's a special day to remember our Veterans and pray for those still in harm's way.

    My Tribute To Vet's, At The Gym...

    Well done. My grandson is in Afghanistan now and I'm a saying, "Thank you is appropriate." He has a wife & 3 children and good job waiting for him when he comes home in February. These guys are always in our prayers!

    psst....I've got a secret

    GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. Mary, I started a message to you and it vanished. Let's start a "Over 5 Year Banded Support Group" to help those of us who are trying again. Okay? When I sit down with my coffee in the a.m. I'll add my 2 cents worth, as I am in "no more loss zone" and I'm 80 + years. I drove miles to my Bariatric Center two weeks ago and they just smiled. When we get over a certain age we are supposed to just vanish I guess. Or they think, "Be happy you will soon be gone!" :wub: Joanne
