hair usually doesn't start falling out till month 3-4 if at all. Not everyone loses hair.< /p>

I didn't feel sick but I felt really tired and took frequent naps during the first 2 weeks. I went back to work the Monday after surgery..(surgery was on Tuesday)

I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to school on Monday. Full days sitting at a desk. I was a little tired, but I was not in pain. I felt good. I couldn't lift heavy weights or bend over very well but everything else was fine and nobody could tell I had surgery.

I am also petrified to lose my hair. I have long thin hair, so if any falls out, Ill surely look awful. I know that taking my Vitamins will help, and making sure to hit my Protein every meal, but that's honestly the only fear I have about getting the surgery. I can handle anything else, but my hair??!?? That will surely be hard. Well, at leasy I have about 2 months before surgery to stress over it and hopefully feel more comfortable with it.

My hair loss didn't start till month 3.5 and now I'm almost 5 months and still losing some hair. But they say that is normal until about month 6.

I had very little pain. I was able to get in and out of bed right after surgery. However, I was EXTREMELY nauseous for about 1.5 weeks. My plan was to go back to work after a week off but I was too nauseous for that. I did a few half days the 2nd week but didn't really feel like myself until week 3.

However, healing and recovery time is so individualized. Some people go back to work after a few days and others can't move or walk for a couple of weeks. So, it really depends. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
