Ive been here reading lots and lots! lol
would you say hair loss is common with most people? that scares me! and alot seem to regain or not have the loss they expected, it would be very traumatic to  live this way for the rest of your life and still be overweight and going bald!! not to make light of it.
i am very ready i really don't care if i eat again in my life I'm dealing with all the emotional eating problems i have recognized but after having this kind of life altering surgery i do expect results! am i being naive?

anybody???

Hello Trapped--It has not happened for everyone. It is part genetic and temporary. I have really never seen anyone go 'bald' in fact most people notice their own hair...but no one else notices. I had a bit of hair loss at the beginning but mimimal. Try not to focus on your hair as it quite minimal and you will be busy after.

Glad to hear that you are dealing with emotional issues. Food can make us happy...so learning to get happy without food is essential to long term success.
Sorry I don't check in every day...I will try to answer as many questions as I can :)

Hello

Around my 4 month I started to notice hair loss...mainly in the shower when washing my hair. I paniced for a bit...but I knew it was a possibility.  I was eating enough protein so I knew that wasn't the problem.

But by the time month 6 rolled around, hair loss was minimal and I have little hairs growing back...I didn't go BALD...in fact, nobody even knew I was losing my hair so.

It's all a part of your body adjusting....don't worry...it's just another hoop to jump through with this wonderful life saving surgery.

i did wonder if it could be avoided bu having enough protein etc. but your right your body is adjusting to a major surgery which is trauma! and many people have said it's minimal and really only you  notice!!
Can't wait to get  started! my consult is tues!!
