I'm getting ready to have the sleeve. I'm told hair loss will occur. Is there anything to ensure it doesn't all fall out???

You hold down on their message and hit quote. Took me a bit to figure it out as well ๐

First two weeks post op weight loss
blondechic replied to pleasedontjudgeme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had a low BMI weighting 185. I'm on my 3rd day post op and still puffy. I was back up to my pre op weight so I knew it had to be fluids. Can't wait to feel a little normal again. -
Just post op and kinda going ๐ฅ

Letsgetgoing2018..I haven't even tried jello too afraid. A lot of gurgling going on as well and my stomach feels really puffy and hurts when I try to cough. I'm with ya on feeling better soon! -
By my 4th day I wasn't hungry even had a burst of energy. I didn't know I had the will power.

Had my sleeve done 2 days ago. I feel worse now than right after. Every muscle in my body hurts. It hurts my calves just to walk. I can't feel my stomach still under numbing meds. A lot of gurgling going on. Hope it gets better soon! -
Let'sgetgoing2018. Hope you feel better! I leave the hospital today. I haven't had any nausea just gas pain. Trying chicken broth now. โบ๏ธ

Had my surgery yesterday. It's almost 2 in the a.m. Had alittle trouble breathing when I came out but it got better. Shoulders and belly hurt from the gas but I've been up walking. Just got my first popsicle YUM! Nurse said I'm doing better than any one on the floor. No pain except the belly gas. I was so scared but it's turning out very well!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป

blondechic replied to Elle_Woods's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My pre-op diet was 7 days with only liquids, jello and broth. I'm on my 4th day. It's been hard but it seems to be getting better. I've lost 5 pounds. 3 more days to go then surgery! -
Hi everyone! I'm on Day 3 of fasting. Other than a minor headache all is going well. Surgery set for July 11th!! Excited ๐๐ป

blondechic replied to kordie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The cost for my sleeve is 11,100.00. I thought it was high before I seen everyone else's cost. Who can afford self pay WOW! -
