WLS and hair loss

Yeah, I think I am as ready as I can be.  I stil have alot of anxiety and nerves LOL I am not worried about the surgery its the healing part that worries me the most.  I know that we aren't supposed to worry but the human in me causes me to worry.  I am having the BPD with a douadenal switch (sp).  I think I am ready to have it be over with. 

Don't worry, the healing part will be over before you know it. Looks like you've chosed a great surgeon!! I've heard nothing but excellent feedback about Dr. Maguire, even from those who didn't have surgery with him. I wish I'd had him and the DS originally!!! Hindsight......

Good luck!

Jill, I almost went with the RNY and my mom talked me out of it.  Now that I have found this website, I am glad that I too chose the BPD/DS.  My mom had Dr. Rita for  her surgery but that was 3 years ago when they were together at Kettering Hospital.  My mom switched to Dr. Maguire after he did my sisters RYN 2 years ago.  I truly believe that Dr. Maguire saved my mom's life. (She had some complications after her surgery.)  Mostly what I like about the DS is that it is less maintainence after surgery and the weight loss is faster and lasts longer.

I think you've made a top notch decision!!! I wish I had been better informed when I had my surgery.  Yes, the maintenance definitely seems easier, from what I've read.

Your date is just around the corner!! You will be in my thoughts, please keep me posted.

Jill
