Topic: RE: Just had the VBG 9/17
I had my surgery on 9-28-04, I am home now. I have coughing spurts through out the day , does this end, because it hurts and I don't want to bust my stitches. What is a good vitamen to take? I am on clear liquids and and am not feeling hungry at all, I really have to remember to try to drink 4ounces an hour until I start on food. Surviving on S/F popsicles and apple juice.

Hi Duane,
You must be getting so excited! I'm excited for you. Life will change so fast for the better for you. It's a very exciting time. The 1st year is a whirlwind. Can't wait to see what year 2 brings.
I had surgery on a Wednesday afternoon and left the hospital on Sunday mornings checkout (I think it was 11:00 a.m.). I had the choice of leaving the day before but chose to stay. So if you have surgery on Tuesday I would think you will be out of the hospital on Friday or Saturday.
Congratulations and best wishes for a smooth, complication free surgery! You are in GOOD hands... so stress not!
Best Regards,
Sharon

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
Hi, Lenore:
I'm 6-1/2 months out and my hair is not coming out in clumps in the shower anymore! Yay! Luckily, I had a lot to lose, but one does wonder. I think you're on the down-hill side of things. Actually, my hair stopped coming out in clumps about 1-1/2 months ago.
So, hang in there, Kiddo!
Good luck to you!!

Topic: Hair Loss
When will the hair loss stop?!!! I'm four months since the VBG and I've more than doubled the amount of hair I lose when I wash and comb it. It's not noticeable in the back, but on top it is. If I knew it was going to quit falling out soon, I wouldn't worry, but this is really freaking me out!! I've always watched my protein and now the doctor suggested taking 3-6 gelatine capsules daily. I've been doing that for several weeks and it's still falling out. HELP!!!
