Hi everyone, Surgery on June 11th 340 pounds As of today: 278 pounds Total so far: 62 pounds I feel like a sloooow loser also, I am so thrilled with the 62 pounds that if the scale keeps dropping I'm happy. My hair is also falling out. When it first started, I gotreally upset, now I try to be careful. I feel I am trying to get in all my protein. I can put my hands through my hair and it will come out. Take Care, Dianna Salm

Starting weight 287 current weight 217 - 70 lbs!! I don't exercise, but I walk alot at work as a nurse. My hair is falling out, but I have super thick hair so it doesn't show. I hate shampooing it though, I get a full handful of hair, then another when I bru**** out, and more when I blow dry it. I only brush my hair in the morning and keep it in a pony...... I'm very happy with my weight loss, and I feel so much better.

I started at 320 and I am down to 255 thats a total loss of 75lbs it seems like was comming off very slow I lose most of my weight for the month at one time I wont lose for week then I will lose 10 lbs in a few days.

Surgery Date: June 8th Starting weight: 242 Now: 180 Down 62 lbs. I was losing my hair and my nutritionist recommended Omega 3 Fish oil tablets (EPA-DHA). I take 2 tablets 3x a day. She said biotin was a waste of money. My hair stopped falling out.

Hi all!!! I had open RNY on june 16th I had a starting weight of 318 and I am now 231 thats -87 My hair is coming out so much it looks like a cat died in the tub every morning

Hey Guys- June 29th Lap Rny Starting weight at surgery 315lb Today's weight 234lb LOSS of 81 lb. I've been sick with who knows what 3x's already and its only Oct. I'm wondering if your immune system is comprimised by the rapid weight loss. Besides my hair really coming out now, I feel great. I'm dropping sizes too fast to stay up with it. Each new size I buy one pair of jeans that fits and thats it, till I reach goal! Take Care June Bugs, I couldn't do it with out you all! God Bless, Ang

Highest weight 259 in Feb of 2004 surgery day 240 June 16th 2004 today 188 total weight loss -71 (19 lost before surgery) -52 since surgery I have been on this stinking platue for the last 3 weeks or so and I am really getting discouraged. My hair too has been falling out....it has seemed to have gotten a little better the last few days, but maybe it is just my wishful thinking. I think that I am just going to cut carbs totally and see if it jump starts my weight loss again. People keep telling me that I look great and that I'm "skinny" but I don't feel skinny......thinner, but not skinny. I just want to see the scale numbers go DOWN again.
