I want ti all the cons of the surgery. How will my life change. Now I am a type one diabetic since 1973 and have kidney disease and have had a small heart attack, (doing okay but am 210 now.) Am really scared to have surgery because have baby fine hair and don't want to lose more. How much do people with surgery eat everyday? Will I always feel sick, and how do I not gain the weight all back.....?

Hair loss is very common, but only lasts for a year or so. Whatever you lose should grow back.
Occasionally people feel sick long term postop (complications), but the vast majority do not. I'm 7 months postop and haven't felt sick since the first week or so.
In order to prevent regain you'll need to watch what and how much you eat, long term. If you replace chips with broccoli, you still get to eat, and it won't make you regain.
I am now able to eat close to a cup of food at a time. I eat meat, cottage cheese, eggs, beans, nuts, fruit, veggies. I don't eat grains or sugar on a daily basis since I'm wanting to lose more weight.
