hi, sorry I have been a stranger lately. but since my surgery on icy 19,2012 I have noticed a significant hair loss. my head feels so much lighter. weightless even. which products have worked for you? thank you for the input!!!

wait it out, as in its not permanent? thanks!!!!

sorry the title should read- loosing hair, anyone? lol

hi I was banded oct 19th and I am really starting to notice hair loss now. I too not thick hair but so much that it seemed thick. people have asked if I got a haircut but have not mention hair loss. it's not like I have bald spots. I do worry through my head feels weightless!!

don't know if it's restriction yet. yesterday i had my 2nd fill on my band. total of 7ml on my 14ml band. so far i have no complaints. my doctor said that i have cut my excess fat by 47% and still ahead of the game. so happy to hear that. i dont know if i am gettting closer to the green zone. it's difficult for me cause i dont have a designated time for my meals. does anyone else have trouble finding time to eat?

I too was told by my doctor that this will take for some of us even into a year to completely heal! wow I didn't see that coming. but it is what it is. as long as its not red, hot to touch, or oozing and you don't have a fever I'm sure this too will pass! everyday the journey gets better!!!!

try drinking Water. might be dehydration. call you doctor that always helps me. i wish you luck.

good decision and best of luck to you! believe me we were all nervous! it's been great!

I would stay here. I live in a border town in Texas and believe me it's scary the things I hear happen across. besides that its not one day surgery like others have mentioned its the follow up. I am a nurse and have seen patients come back with dangerous complications or infections. if you have the money do it here...there is no place like home!!!!

night hunger is the pits! all day I go about my business, slow eating high protein good food drinking water...then my hunger wakes up after 7pm. anyone else experiencing this? and what to do? thanks in advance!

thanks destynee tea sounds good

how about calling your doctor? I mean 3 days to drink a Protein shake is too much. It might be that your band was filled too quickly or too much. Communication with your dr is very important especially the first few weeks post op. good luck

by the way, I am loosing weight and I am post op almost 2 months and per my doctor I am way ahead of my goal by 7 months!!!

that is way awesome. so glad for you that you beat the fear of speaking up and see what you found SUPPORT! that is a very important part of your success with the band journey, continue to connect with this forum also because you can find support here. good luck!!!

by the way, you are funny... i read your post and laughed on how you expressed yourself humor helps alot in our journey.

i am no expert, i did do research and read my book i follow the doctors advice and instructions, but it's all still new to me and i was in the same boat as you about 2 months ago. i just started with the journey and i have lots to learn and lots to practice. lots of new habits is what i mean,,, but it's do-able, just trying to get the hang of things once again after 20yrs of being a slacker with myself good luck and don'y get discouraged!!!
