I understand your concern, Im interested as well. I don't have a thyroid due to cancer. I seem to lose 5 or 10 pounds and thats it, only to gain it all back and than some.
This has been my biggest fear. I survived cancer without losing my hair. I chatted with a friend that had this done and she suggested I get biotin and start taking it. So Im filling up on the stuff.
I've been wondering the same thing. I should have my surgery in October or November and my hubby and I have a cruise in Feb.
I figure I will work out something.
Im in Indiana and just starting to consider having the lap band done. The only place I have been able to find is in Carmel, I live about an hour west of there. I don't even know where to start. All I know, so far, is my insurance covers it.
