I had my surgery 31 Oct 12. Had a few bumps along the road but they were all expected, so much easier to deal with! I have lost 56 pounds post op and could not be happier. Of course I would love to loose more in that time frame, but I cant help but feel like one of the lucky ones!! I actually was able to have this surgery . Im starting to loose my hair, but again I was prepared for that and as much as dont want to loose my hair its just a temp side effect that will go away. I have always said I was going to shave my head because it is easier maybe now I will!! I can handle any type of food with no problem... Again I am one of the lucky ones!!!

I shaved my head once just to do it an paired worh weightloss I can almost guarantee you will get a lot of cancer questions. I don't recommend it

I feel the way you do. I'm PRE op and I keep thinkin there's no way something this awesome can happen to me!!!

Congtats in the wl!!!
