my surgery date is May 29
How did your surgery go? How are you doing now? I have have 2 follow-up appt. already and I just got my blood work drawn for the first time since the surgery. Haven't gotten the results yet. Lately I find that I am losing a lot of hair.....What's up with that. I have issues with all the water and occassionally I do forget one of my proteins. I have to up my game and keep on track. Are you having any issues?

Not sure how to answer your question,,,, I am losing weight and liking that part of the surgery, but I have had my share of problems. Eating has been a big problem for me, I have had to have 3 EGD's where they had to go in and dialate where my stomach and my intestine meet as it grew shut due to scar tissue. I havent been getting enough of anything yet but i havent seen any hair loss yet, thank God!!! For me my big issue is energy. I have absolutely no energy for anything and its very frustrating. Keep me updated on your progress please
I just finished stress test/ sleep study/ echocardiogram/ and 29 tubes of blood work and am scheduled to meet with my surgeon for the last time before surgery on May 4th. However I still do not have a date, I guess he will give me my date when he goes over all the testing I have done. I was wondering if this is going to be another long process from this point or am I looking at a fairly reasonable time frame? This has been a 2 year process for me as well, I was denied last year and again this year but then my doctor appealed the decision and my insurance co approved it in the end. I think it is normal to be nervous, I know that when you want something as bad as this it has to be such a mix of emotions going on, will I be ok? How soon will i start losing weight? will I look different in a year? I know I am already thinking all these thoughts and I havent received my date yet!! good luck to you!
