I have a question about hair loss. How many people who have had WLS have lost their hair? I have been hearing that after having WLS, your hair starts shedding. If you have experienced it, can you let me know? How much hair did you lose and for how long? I have not had my surgery yet, but I am concerned about it.

I agree with you. I like this forum too. I like talking to people that I have something in common with. I had so many questions about Tricare and it is nice to see other people who are going through or went through the same things I am. Good luck on your surgery!!!

I'm in the same quandry. My Dr has some that he wants us to use for the first couple of weeks, but for the long term, I'm not sure. Diana

Topic: RE: I Have A Date!!!!!!

I am looking at protein shakes and stuff but am unsure of what to buy. What flavors and which I will like best. I have read that our taste will change after surgery and am contemplating on whether I should buy any now or not. What would be the point of buying anything if our taste change and we can't stand what we bought after surgery? This is where I need the most help. Does the hospital/Doctors give you any samples to take home to get by on till you can go to the store? These are the questions that haunt me.

I dont know how to make it faster either...mine is August 6th. I just keep trying to think of everything I need to get done before then, then it feels like I dont have enough time. Good luck to you and congrats on the date! Appearantly august is the lucky month!
