Hi to Everyone especially Lawton/Fort Sill

Hi everyone and Happy Holidays!  I had my surgery Aug. 17, weighing about 272.  It is Dec. 7, and I weigh 182!    Just came back from Dr. Warnock yesterday...I am THRILLED.  Just cannot believe it.  My hair is FALLING out badly...anyone got any suggestions to help me with this?    He says PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN.  I know there are alot of us out there in Lawton, so I am looking for people to chat with...Army wives especially.  My hubby is going to Iraq again Jan. 4 (boohoo) so I need someone to chat with who feels my pains lol...so to speak.  Hope there is someone out there...GOD BLESS everyone!! 

Hello and Happy Holidays to you too!  I'm not in Lawton and not an army wife, but I'm around to chat if you need civilian chat :O) Sorry about the hair.  I think I"m going to have to get a wig if and/or when I lose hair!  I already have fine/thin hair...  If I lose very much I'll be bald!  I need to go to paula young website.  They have nice wigs.  That's where my mother-in-law got hers when her alopecia was really bad... As far as stopping it from happening, the only thing I know of is PROTEIN and BIOTIN.  You can buy the biotin where ever vitamins are sold!  good for hair and nails. Sorry about the hubby...  I can't even imagine..... ttyl Dot

Hi there. I am an Army wife and in Lawton. We just moved here 01 OCT. I dont have any suggestions about hair falling out. Have you tried Nioxin shampoo? They sell it at hair salons. I am sorry to hear that your DH is going to Iraq.  Mine came back almost 2 years and thank God that he has not had to go back. I feel your pain I have been there before.  I am pre op and scheduled surgery 01/11/08. I am excited, scard, and nervous all at the same time.  If you need to talk just PM me.. Nickolle

Definitely Protein!!! Check out Bariatric Advantage - they have all kinds of supplements.  But, most important is the protein!!! Best wishes! We're here for you! One thing I do want to say... Please tell your husband THANK YOU for defending our country and fighting for our freedom.  I want to thank you too for being a supportive wife.  I can only imagine how hard this is for you! Blessings! Tonja
