Well I'am now 9 days away from my VSG surgery. Per your suggestions iam ready to walk soon as the Doc gives,e the OK. So this question is for the female VSGr's I understand hair loss is pretty standard at some point PostOp but iam wondering if I dare get the perm & color that's due now or wait. Will it accelerate the hair loss? Anybody have any tested advice?

SuperBariatricbabe You Got this-Happy Surgery Day!

Bandeee Congrats on getting approval for your transition surgery on Oct 20th! Soon you'll be back on track to your goal.

Lisacaron sorry to hear about you car accident ..... Adopting one puppy is a challenge but 2 WOW as the human parent of a 8 yr Boston T & a 12 yr calico cat I'm up first thing in the AM for morning walking. They will be the reason I get out for my exercise during WK 2 VSG Post-Op.

Congrat AuriP on getting your walks in. Just got caught up reading all the posts since Beni started this group. Lots of good tips. Thanks Beni for starting this group it helps me keep focused on the long haul. No more struggling up steps, no more airplane seat extenders, no more buying clothes I really don't like just because they fit, no more giving excuses to get out of day trips that consist of walking more than 2 blocks, no more Cpap, no more Pre Diabetes & no more yo yo dieting & weight gain. KarenAllen you got this .... You'll be home soon. October is a great month to finally win the battle!!

Karen hang in there Gladiator - just think how much better you'll feel in 2 weeks, 3 weeks a month & what about all those Too- Large pants you'll be donating by December 1st!

AuriP Sorry your still dealing with nausea & pain. Hope you have a better night & csn get up walking & then can go home tomorrow.

AuriP The best is right around the corner. You got this Gladiator!

Karen glad to hear surgery went well. Beni love the use of the term Gladiator that's exactly how I feel right now during PreOp preparing myself for the long haul to win this longtime battle. I spent the day cleaning out the room that will be my oasis Post Surgery. It's amazing how much stuff you collect put in a of and then never look at it. I feel like I'am clearing out all the baggage preparing myself to kick start my healthier life. 12 days to go. Good luck to all of the October Sleevers!

One of my favorite Apps for tracking my daily food is MyfitnessPal.com I used it all last month and it helped me keep myself honest as I have no ideal how much I was eating before. Today Day 1 of pre-op Prep it helped a lot as I reduced my calories goal down to 1,000 Cause I couldn't remember how many snakes I ate until I looked at what I listed earlier in the day.

Hello October I'm scheduled for VSG on October 14th- started my 2 weeks of Pre-Op liquids today. Didn't quite get all my protein shakes in. I have to start earlier tomorrow. I would enjoy conversation as we each move closer to procedure day. Right now I'm pooped headed to sleep.

Nice article Alex Congrats!
