Welcome to someday

“You know you need to start thinking about your health, someday. Welcome to someday.”

Anne Frank wrote, "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." The same is true for changing ourselves. We don't have to wait until the kids are older, until our jobs are less demanding, until the weather gets better, or until the rest of the nacho chips are gone. All it takes is a decision to "do" and then the doing of it. Tomorrow never comes so stop waiting for it. Start on your plan to change your life today. Once you start, you'll be amazed at how freeing it is to finally be on the path instead of waiting to begin.

I like that!  Just a few questions.  I am scheduled for a MGB on October 29th and am super scared.  Any advice to ease the butterflies.  My main concerns are hair loss, pain and something going wrong with the surgery. Thanks for any feedback.!!

Hello,

Well, I am not a fortune teller so I don't know what you will go through. However, statistics show that results are very good in most cases.  Hair loss will come and you may find a product to help but that will take more research on your part and experimentation.  Pain, some but after a week or so, it gets better.  Once the staples are out and the incisions heal, you will be good to go.    As for something going wrong, well every surgery has its risks.  We have to just be aware of that.  We can't do much about it. 

Anyway, I am extremely happy for you.  Keep in touch!

Thanks so much for the feedback.  Do most people have hair lost? I was reading and seems like not all.  Also do all docs use staples?  They have not mentioned any staples.

Hi

I'm a little confused. Who is doing your surgery? If you don't know the procedure and what to expect then I'd be concerned. By the time I had mine, I was almost as knowledge as the surgeon having had to complete a huge packet.
