Surgery went well. Been sleeping most of the day. I feel okay with pain meds...rough when they wear out...dilaudid is my friend

I'm starting to experience hair loss... do any of you champs know when it stops? Is it a whole year of hair loss? Or just a couple months? I'm just curious... I'm taking my vitamins religiously I just feel there's no going around it. Hair loss is gonna happen I just wanna know what other have experienced as far as time frame or the hair loss! Thanks loves!

December 2015 I had my first back surgery. I could hardly walk, and was heavily medicated with opioids to get through the day. Surgery was a success, until I had a relaps at the same place not even a year later. Long story short. I had 2 nerve blockages that worked for a while, but in the end, my surgeon said I needed to be operated on again. We decided to wait and see if the wls would help my back. The pictures below are from March of this year, only 7 days after my wls, and from Saturday. The herniation has been reduced to almost nothing, the spine covering the nerve is almost nothing, all due to loosing almost 90 lbs. I see my neurosurgeon on Monday, but both I and my physical therapist are sure I won't be having the surgery I'm booked for on October 3rd. If that is not a success story, I don't know what is.

Still waiting for insurance approval... getting anxious and excited!

Thank you! So glad to have this community as a support!

Thank you! It turned out to be my muscles being tired. Prior to going to sleep that night, I had this rush of energy and was doing light cleaning, and lots of moving around. I simply did too much, and it's not a problem anymore. It was just sore for about half the day, and I listened to my body, rested, and it was gone by the next evening.

I know the feeling I just want the day to come.. I got 1 month 4 days 17 hours 37 minutes and 22 seconds lol
