OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!
Hi Everyone!! 
I have been coming to the obesity help web site for about a year and a half now, I post mostly on the South Carolina board since that's where I live, I have also posted a few time on the main message board.
BUT! I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A APRIL message board!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! 
I have emailed a few of you that had surgery in April way back, I just didn't know we had our own monthly board!
My surgery was RNY on April 17, 2006. I had no problems at all with surgery. 
I did have a stricture one month out and another one at 2 months out on my 27th wedding anniversary. 
Since then I have not really had any problems other than I STILL find it hard to get in all my protein and water. 
But, I'm working on it.
My family has also joined the YMCA and working out 5-6 days a week, I feel better, 
yet when I look in the mirror all I see is alll this loose skin, it drives me crazy 
one of these days, I'm going to take flight if these bat wings get any bigger!
I will be 4 months out on Aug.17th. and so far have lost 77 pounds.
I have been at the same weight for almost 2 weeks! I think it's because I'm not getting in all my protein & water, thus, my hair is falling out also, 
So 2 weeks ago, I went and had it cut off, I had 12" to give to the "LOCKS OF LOVE" and I love the new short do, but it's still coming out! Think I'll go bald?? I hope not!
Well, I think I'm going to close now and go read a bunch of the older post from all of you.
I'm soooooooo glad I found this board. 
I hope all of you have a blessed weekend,
Debra Spencer

I"m so glad you found us! Welcome!
I know what you mean about the hair falling out...I get all my protein every day, but its still coming out by the handful...I think I will be bald before this is over. Ugh.
Yea, the loose skin is getting pretty crazy too...I refer to my arm skin as "my wings" too! LOL
77lbs is fantastic! Way to go!!
Hi Debra we had our surgeries on the same day!!! I am glad you are doing so well!!!! You will not go bald you hair just thins out due to a lack of protein. I drink a bottle of Isopure just about everyday which is 40 grams of whey protein. Without drinking that I would never get in my daily protein. It will get easier!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
