Ew. If I gave birth to something that looked like that I would just tell people I adopted because I felt bad for it. Lol I knew I didnt want to feel like carp. Carp have a face only a mom could love. Had no idea carps have been taking selfies like a pro. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone had their surgery and had their hair locs for awhile? I am beginning the long journey towards my surgery and my hair is locked and has been for about 2 years. I want to know how was your hair during the "hair loss/shedding" part. I am not sure how this would work because shed hair is what makes the locs dense. Did you lose any locs? Did you end up cutting your hair? Did nothing change? I would hate to lose any locs but I couldn't imagine cutting my hair and starting over.

Someone posted a video on YouTube saying their edges were thinning because of the surgery. She ended up cutting her hair, but it could have also been because she didn't take care of her hair that well. Her hair was also colored. So I'm not sure what to expect Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow. I have only seen one person that has posted in multiple places about losing her locs. And it was thinning on the edges so it looked like something she could have possibly caused. Others I have seen said theirs broke off in the middle, which could also be from poor hair care. I don't really see too many people take this journey with locs and I'd love to see/hear from more people. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will have to try taking biotin once I get my surgery. I do not want to cut my hair, but if I have to that does give me to opportunity to make my locs thicker like I now wish they were. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My husband doesn't want me to get the surgery either. He says I just need to diet and exercise. Like I haven't been doing that since I was 11. He doesn't want to even talk about the surgery but I am making sure he is well informed at each step Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is good information for someone with loose hair, but i have locks and make my own hair products from all natural ingredients and do not apply heat to my hair at all because it is locked...I do not manipulate my hair other than a monthly retwist (if that) and washing every two weeks.

I just recently scheduled my consultation with Dr. Andrales at Bayview for October 27th and was told I could possibly be looking at a March surgery date. All of that seems so far away. I am actually excited to actually start this process even though I do not have much support from my family in my decision. Is there anyone else here from Maryland?

That's cool. I wish I knew my surgery date. I am being to impatient Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations on getting it done. I can't wait for my day to come. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is emotional abuse. Staying together for the family can hurt you and your child. Think about what your son is learning by watching you two Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
