Finally have my sleeve date!! 26/05/15 for me. Have been waiting for this day for almost 12 months so to say I'm excited is an understatement. I've poured over so much information and feel I have a pretty solid understanding of everything. My only question is and Im hoping someone can offer me some feedback, but with one month till my sleeve date is there anything I can start doing now to prepare myself? Im already taking silica and biotin in the help that it might help the issue of losing my hair (however I'm not overly hopeful with that). Is there anything else you can suggest? Anything you know now that you wish you'd known before you got sleeved? Any hints or ideas would be appreciated.

How bad was the hair loss? Like how much did you lose? Was it enough that others noticed or just you?

Hi All, Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. Im Hayley, 31, from Brissy. I have a 12 yr old son and two gorgeous foster daughters. I've been thinking about having the sleeve procedure for a few years now but only recently starting to get serious about it and start researching. I've battled with my weight all of my life. Have tried all the diets, exercised etc but no matter what I do I always seem to end up putting the weight back on. I'm reaching the point in my life where I really need to turn things around, not just for myself, but for my kids. I don't want to let life slip by, I feel like Im missing out on so much living due to my current weight. I guess I have a few questions and Id love to hear back from you all. What made you decide to get sleeved? Why did you opt for this over getting the band? Do you have any regrets? And how on earth did you decide which doctor you were going to use?

Hi everyone, Just a quick question. What, if any, side effects did you have after surgery? I have heard hair loss/thinning is very common. How many of you experienced this? And how long did it last? TIA
