Low BMI Gastric Sleeve story

Circlesis · June 15, 2020

Best wishes to those of you getting ready. On hair loss: you will 99% chance have hairloss from about months 3 to 6 post surgery.

The losses will be apparent on your hands, brush, pillow, stylists comb, but not necessarily noticeable on your head. That will depend.

Anyway you can’t likely avoid it, so my suggestion is save your money and focus on your program. The hair will surely work its own dang self out. Soon you will be slim and trim!

Hi,

I'm also a low BMI I had surgery on 3/30/16 in Palm Springs California. I have lost 26 pounds so far and feel great. My doctor said weight loss will not be as rapid as others because of my low BMI. My insurance only required to see my NUT for 3 months. Hope everyone is doing just as great.

Hi There so glad to hear your journey has gone well. I am 5'5 and 209 pounds but started at 227 pounds. I have just started my second week of Pre-op diet and surgery is on 6/30/22. I am so confused and scared to lose too much weight after surgery. I would love to get to 140-150 pounds but feel any more than that would be too much. I am going back and forth in my head if this is even the right thing to do. I do not have a thyroid due to cancer and this is what has caused me to gain all this weight. I will be having my surgery in Palm Springs.
