Hi jamill527 thank you and Congrats 2 you thats is Amazing =) i definately have way 2 much energy now but i wouldn't change it for the world, my loose skin is mostly on my under arms and a bit on my belly i have to say though i expected it to be much much worse. My surgeon suggested that if i wanted i could keep a log of anything that happens around the loose skin on my belly like rashes, open skin which happens to some people he says i can get my insurance to pay for a tummy tuck when i am a year out if i want but honestly i dont find it necessary because like i said its not as bad as i though thank God but its an option to keep in mind =)

Thank you Shel =)

Thank you 1Day1Life4Now =) i did/do have hair loss problems but i have to say at 6 months it has slowed down alooot i started taking my Vitamins without missing a dose and it has made a huge difference along with 1 5000mcg Biotin pill once a week my NUT said to take it just once a week because usually 500mcg's is what is needed and since 5000 is much more 1 a week will do i also use biotin shampoo and conditioner every time i wash my hair sooo idk if its a mixture of it all or just my body adjusting but it sure has slowed down a significant amount i used to run my fingers through at 2 months and get a fist full of hair out now i run my fingers through and i might get a strand or 2 but most of the time its nothing, so i am happy about that, i was very self concious about my hair i always had thick long healthy looking hair and i'm a hairstylist soo i always had my hair looking its best then i started worrying when i saw how much was falling of i kept telling my husband if i go bald i am not leaving the house lol i cried every time i saw my hair thinning more and more and i could already see my scalp and some areas were pretty bad =) but yeah there is light at the end of the tunnel i wanna say vitamins are big key it does slown down eventually

Thank you i do regularly excercise although i havent been able to for the past 2 weeks because i've been soo busy but o def am going back on monday i spoke to my NUT last friday and my surgeon and they were amazed that at 5 months out i have already lost 75% of my excess weight and my NUT said that my body will be the one to decide when it feels comfortable at a certain weight and thats when i'll stop loosing regarless of wether i reach my goal or go past it =)
