Six weeks seems like a lifetime. All kinds of feelings are running through my mind. Worried I will lose my hair as I have heard dozens of times

Good thing out of all this no more high blood pressure medicine and weight loss pills. Vitamins I will have to take for the rest of my life I have no problem with

Was taking 2 BP medications and metformin because I was pre diabetic. Now it's one BP med no metformin diet pill (xenical) and my Multivitamin which I take anyway.

I go for my pre op meeting tomorrow and meet with the surgeon wednesday.

I am too OP! All I can think about is dying from a bloodclot on the journey back or fainting or something. But I know it is all fear and it won`t stop me from going through with this!

I think of the hair loss too but guess what hair can grow back! I`ll wear a wig for the rest of my life if it means I have some control over my hunger and adds a few more years to my life. And too be honest Vitamins are something we should have been taking before post-op since the average western diet is not worth a bent nickel. Don`t let that deter you!

We will be ok!

I've lost some hair, but not chunks. I've noticed I shed a lot now, and I lose a bit more hair than usual when I shower. I just started taking 10,000 mcg of Biotin. Definitely consider adding Biotin to your daily intake. It helps with hair and nail health.

I just scheduled my surgery and met with my surgeon earlier today. Mine is January 19th! I am feeling all sorts of emotions, and worried about my hair as well. I'm prone to losing during weight loss or when my thyroid is low. I've already lost some, but it stopped so I'm hoping it reacts similar with the surgery. Good luck!
