Topic: RE: Going for a bra fitting today
It has got to happen for me soon also. I have been through my entire lingerie drawer to find a bra that works. No luck!

Topic: RE: Losing my hair!!
Yep, me too! I need to buy stock in Drano!! I'd say I've lost about a third of my hair. Every time I bru**** I have to empty my brush and then I can STILL pull out tons of it. There is hair all over my house, on the carpet, in my bed, EVERYWHERE!! It's soooo gross! I am lucky I guess to have had hair that was too thick before surgery, so now it's a bit more manageable. It is getting to the point where I'm getting worried about losing more though. My surgeon said it could last until 9 pr 10 months post op, but that it should stop sooner than that. Apparently no amount of protien or vitamins will save it either. I have been getting at least 100 grams of protien per day since surgery, taking biotin and zinc, using biotin shampoo, and taking all my recommended vits...no go! It's supposed to start growing back about a year post op or so I hear.
Topic: RE: out of pocket expense if you have medicare
Way to go!!! Thanks for sharing. I love having these kinds of conversations with my doc. At my 3 month follow-up, the doc went over my health history (because I was bummed at ONLY losing 53lbs)....hmmmmmm...ALL of my co-morbidities are GONE...i'm on one prescription drug for my thyroid and the rest are over the counter stuff (vitamins, b-12, etc....heck of a lot cheaper)...he also pointed out that i've dropped my BMI by about 10 points. by the time i left his office i was soooo psyched up about being healthier....Being healthy should be our ultimate goal (in my humble opinion).
Absolutely love the picture with your son.....you two are absolutely beautiful (yep, i think guys can be beautiful...inside and out)

I had surgery 12-1-05 and yes,I'm losing my hair as well. My doctor told me it shouldn't last too much longer maybe another month. I hope it quits soon. I CAN'T STAND IT!!!

WLS in December and now handfuls of hair are coming out. I know its from the anesthetic and the shock of surgery but there is a lot of hair here! I'm taking protein and vitamins and drinking. Anyone else? Is this just when it happens? How long does it last? Will it come back? Help!!

So Sunny...are we going to see a wet T?????
I got slick and purchased two bras too small. Now they are fitting. I went once and told the lady I didn't know what size I was. She just looked at me and said you need a.....
Next time I'll try a different store or person (MARK) so maybe I will get measured.
We are waiting on a picture. I can never see the one on your profile

I'm right there with you all..
I've been 180-185 for weeks now.
I thought that maybe I'd been eating too much, but gosh, how can we really be eating too much?
Since we are all about the same time frame out, this stall must be "normal" I just wish I knew when the loss kicks back in!

Topic: RE: Going for a bra fitting today
I was at wally world the other day and saw these little water filled thingy's to put in your bra which are supposed to help fill it out. Well for less than $6 I thought why not? Now I know why not, I didn't like the way they looked underneath so put them on top and they looked ok, I went to work and was in a training class this morning I looked down and one of the darn things had migrated half way out of my bra. I just wanted to die, our work stations were set up in a horse shoe so half of the class was facing me and I couldn't just get up and go to the restroom or I would miss too much. I got it pushed back down with out too much fuss, but when I told my partner about it we both were rolling on the floor. Good thing I can still laugh. Lesson learned..........buy a smaller bra.
Have a great weekend.
