For the last month I have noticed my hair falling out.  Now within the last two weeks it is falling out in clumps.  I know you are suppose to loose hair daily but I think this is a little too much.  I have noticed my hair thinning and I feel like all my hair is going to fall out.  What can I do about this?  I am trying to increase my protein but other than that I eat what I am suppose to and take my vitamins.  Has anyone else had this happen too? 

I'm assuming your response is towards both of us, so I'll answer a few points.

From what I understand the Bariatric Center at CRH is working on becoming a center of excellence, I had a couple forms that I filled out prior to surgery to allow my info in their application.  Honestly, if I were you I would go to the info session.  They hand out packets and discuss the entire process.  The staff is great!  Very friendly, they actually care about you, and really go out of their way to make sure you're doing well and any questions are answered.  The nurses are fabulous and I'm just delighted with Dr. Lee.

My insurance is through Cummins Anthem which was really quick as Cummins is viewing this more as an overall Wellness/Health surgery and figuring that if they invest now it will be less expensive for them in the future.   You'll need to gather info from your GP, and hopefully you have discussed needing to lose weight with your Dr that way it's in your records.

I'm only 5 weeks out, so no major body changes yet.  I'm 22# down though since the surgery.

Feel free to send me an email or come find me at the support group if you plan on coming.

Hey oh family, I need some advice or something, I am stuck at this same weight for months now its been like 4 months and i go to the gym and stuff its not budging im not sure what im doing wrong or if im doing anything wrong or is it im just not going to lose anymore i can not get under 200 i been between 207 205 for months is there anything i can do to jump start my weight loss again? Has anyone else experienced this for this long of time. I just feel like giving up. If anyone can give me some advice or anything at all i would so love to hear from u. God bless to all. Thanks

I also think there is a DR in Franklin that does WLS, a female, but I know nothing about her.  I wanted to go to a Center of Excellence and I had already heard good things about Dr Inman. I also looked her up online and she has more experience than most at doing WLS.

Thanks so much! I heard he was good, but I also heard I should go to a center of excellence in Carmel with Dr. Inman, but the trip would be 2 hours one way. :(  So I would love to go here since its local.  Can you tell me more about CRH?  What to get prepared for, etc.?  I am so excited to get started, I am just hoping my insurance doesnt' make me wait for 12 months or anything (just getting insurance with SIHO this month).  Did you have to have skin removed when complete?  How much have you lost?  I have a million questions LOL. :)
