I got detoured between rooms...lap top will only allow 1 line posts... Janet, I was sad reading about your tears today...we did miss you so much, and with some planning we can and will make another date for the 4 of us, or perhaps more if others are available... Thank you for sharing the verse; very special and appreciated...I hope your spirits are better this evening. I did deliver the hugs you asked me to! Also sad to read of Evan's grandmother...you are correct, she had a long and fully successful life. Those we love remain with us in spirit and in our hearts. Evan was fortunate to have the love of his grandparents...and it made it possible for him to be the man he is today. That is something special to Celebrate, even at this time of loss and sorrow. Terri could not have chosen a better spot for our lunch...and I have to say that the 3 women from our special group are three of the most caring and inspiring individuals one could ever hope to meet. I know I feel blessed to have you in my life! And Janet...thank you for continuing to keep Seth remembered in your prayers. Seth did his best to calm my anxiety...but mothers are programmed to worry. The best tidbit of information is that there has never been an Army pharmacist injured or killed in the line of duty. I asked Seth about the risks of flying via helicopter to the different sites he will supervise, and he said that " he was the guy that the soldiers with the big guns stuffed in the middle of the helicopter and protected". That, and prayers is what I have to tide me over through the next year... It was a very long day...a wonderful one! Diane, enjoy every morsel of your decadent dessert...and don't you dare get stuck on it! Terri, safe travels home. Dawn, thank you again for your caring words... Dee...we missed you, too! Michelle and Nicole, CA girls...I hope all is well with you! Not feeling too well...it's going to be an early night. Wish me luck...tomorrow I let my prospective new stylist touch my hair... Hugs all around...sweet dreams.

Hello everyone, I want to respond about hair issues. I was worried about hair loss. I am relaxed and no color :-). I heard about Andrew Lessman, hair, skin and nails vitamins. I bought them and did not experience hair loss. I cant say it was the only reason but I swear by them. I also take the other required vitamins. Make sure your iron level is good or you will definitely have hair issues. Good luck everyone. -
CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
Syn'd Hansen Golden replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is July 15th. So much to do before then! They want me on a week pre op diet. I just recently heard about the hair loss related to surgery so I am getting OGX biotin & collagen shampoo which someone told me about. Other than that no worries! lol -
Weazer- Sounds like you are on your way again I had to drink protien shakes for about 4 days with my last fill but am back to eating normal foods again. I keep forgetting to take my Vitamins though because of small children I keep them up in a cabinet. How do you all remember to take them? I am STILL losing gobs of hair! I am ready for it to stop already I am kind of getting worried. Melissa- I am so sorry about your friends loss. I cant imagine how that affects you also. I will be praying for her family during this horrible time. I dont know about you but I am absolutely an emotional eater. I was given this article at a support group meeting and it really made me think. Try to keep on track during the stress of your wedding and everything else going on!

The closer I get to my surgery I'm really scared as well. I just told my office manager and my supervisors. I'm not sure if I will tell the rest of my office we'll see how things go. I'm worried about the usual things such as hair loss vitamin problems just issues with recovery also very hopeful and excited too. I'm praying that everything goes well for myself as well as for all my fellow sleevers good luck everybody.My surgery is actually on 13 October. I'll keep you posted -
Attention ! Australian Sleevers

Hi Everyone, I have been keeping up with all of your news but life has been a bit hectic so I haven't been posting much anywhere. Welcome Back Sarahjp, I hope 'Dr Grumpy' is as happy with your loss as you are? Congratulations on your determination to make this surgery work for you. I am still seeing him and I actually got a hug and a smile out of him at my last visit, when I showed him the pictures of me on the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I climbed on 5th October. Sueoco, I have never liked exercise and at 7 months post op, I still can't/don't want to make it part of my life. So, well done on joining the Gym. Merry, I know that lots of people lose their hair post op, however, I am 7 months post op and my hair is healthier, thicker and looking better than ever. So don't count on losing your hair because it may not happen. Misty, I am sorry that you are unwell after your surgery and I hope that the antibiotics do the trick before you travel back to India. I have now lost 30 kgs and have done something very impulsive, which I would never have done 7 months ago. I have booked myself a very quick trip to Sydney for the Sydney 500 V8 Supercars Final Round which is on over the weekend of 6,7,8 December. My favourite driver Craig Lowndes has a chance of winning the 2013 Championship and I have a Grandstand ticket at the finish line to see him win. I just a bit excited *in case you didn't already get that,lol*. I am a little anxious that I won't fit in the airplane seat, but I'll worry about that when I'm on the plane on Thursday. lol If there are any Sydneysiders who would like to get together for coffee or dinner over the weekend, I'd love to catch up. I'm staying in Parramatta and I won't have a car but I can do taxi's if necessary. Keep up the great work everyone and have a wonderful Thursday. Michele -
Hello Everyone ..I'm in Cleveland and just completed my 3 month diet and all preop testing. I see the surgeon on 6/27 and then my paperwork will be sent to Medical Mutual for approval. I am really hoping to be sleeved by the end of July. I am worried about hair loss as well. I also have MS so I am a little concerned about how my body will adjust after surgery. I have been reading on this site and it has really given me some good insight. I just wanted to thank you all for sharing your journeys. If anyone lives close inbox my I would love to have a buddy that shares this experience.

While I don't wear a weave, I decided to chime in I was considering wearing a weave but chose to wear a wig instead. I found one for the immediate postop period so I wouldn't have to worry about my hair and love it so much I decided to wear it for 6 months postop (even though I don't plan on stopping wearing it). It's the hair I have in my pictures. As far as my own hair, when I wash it I definitely notice some shedding, but most definitely no significant loss or thinning, no bald spots or any loss of length (I'm bra strap length). Ive permed it once since surgery because my roots were out of control. I moisturize and seal and have it in 4 braids and could wear it in a braid out too but don't want to manipulate it too much. I don't wash it often right since it isn't hot. I don't think ill ever stop wearing this wig!!

Hello, my sistahs. Lord willing I will have my sleeve on September 23rd. Looking now for the best protein shakes that have over 30 grams of protein and is tolerably tasteful. The shots are an option but I guess I will have to try them for myself. I am already taking biotin because I too worry about hair loss. AND, I may purchase me some hair.

This thread is very informational. Thanks for that. I will be going to some kaiser informational in like a week. I hear the process here in California is different than other places as far as getting approved. My doctor said i shouldnt have any approval issues. So thats good. The whole hair loss thing i am worried about. I have really thick hair and like it the way it is lol. Anyone else have the southern california kaiser that can tell me the process etc? Thanks.

Hello everyone I have been lurking around reading multiple post that have been EXTREMELY insightful. I have started taking notes in order to make sure I don't forget anything. I don't have a date for my sleeve as of yet but I am hoping around July or August. I CANT WAIT !!!! I am already buying clothes a lil to snug and calling them my TRANSFORMATION OUTFITS.......(yea I am a shopaholic).......... My biggest fear is the sagging loose skin that alot of people speak of. My doctor told me that it is a 50 -50 chance of having or not having it. I would hate to go this transformation and be unhappy with the end results because of my loose skin........ I have been reading a lot about hair loss and that doesn't worry me that much cause I am a true certified WIGGY !!! I was considering getting micros but after reading about the possible hair loss issues I may just stick with my wigs to avoid any other stress to my hair. I have started dabbling in drinking some protein shakes and still haven't found none that I really like. My nutritionist suggested EAS protein shakes and they are ok but I still be hungry afterwards. I thought I was doing good by drinking those Special K shakes but nutritionist nipped those in the bud real quick.( lol they were good too) I would love to know if there are any people in the Columbia SC area on here that i could buddy up with. Last question or issue for now.....I am a very social person that often go out and was wondering is drinking alcohol totally 100% off limits with the sleeve ???

I think the people that are posting now are doing the challenge but back posts talked a lot about this journey and the specifics with being Black on this journey. But to get back on track. I'm officially four months out. I have not lost hair thank you Lord(still crossing my fingers). I decided not to get a relaxer after I had surgery because I was so worried about hair loss. My hair is thick and this new growth is still coming in thick. I really want to get my Senegalese Twist but I'm still nervous so will probably wait another month. The last two weeks haven't been taking my vitamins like I should. I notice my nails are growing but they are weak will break easy. I don't get on the scale on a regular but last I checked I was 40lbs down which is great for me because I am a revised band to sleeve. I was able to buy regular jeans from Old Navy which is a first because they would never go over the hips and booty so small victory. All in all very happy with my results thus far.

I'm so happy to find this thread. I was sleeved Feb 11th. I have lost 50 lbs and I am loving all of the changes in my life. I have been really lucky so far. I threw up once because I swallowed a pill too hard, but otherwise I have had no issues. As I approach the three month mark, I am getting more concerned about hair loss. I so far haven't noticed anything worse than normal and I have pretty thick hair, but as summer gets closer & it is time to touch up my perm I worry. What have been other people's experience?
