Getting Stuck- is it a choice?



Recommended Posts

I thinking that your fear is actually a good thing for you. I am sure that because you fear choking you will be extremely careful to prevent being stuck which BTW will most likely help you to follow the doctor's orders and lose your weight easily.

hair loss my biggest concern only because previously when dieting and exercising I experienced Hair loss. It grew back. I did take Vitamins but I had no idea it was from calorie, Protein intake and weightloss. Now going into this journey I saw that many experience hair loss. I put 2 and 2 together realize why my hair fell. I am not sure if after being banded I will be able to prevent it BUT its NOT stopping me from getting my band. I feel what is the point of having such beautiful long hair if of all my other beauty is being drowned out by my obesity. So I will take my Vitamins, drink my Protein which is all recommended anyway and is good for you and hope for the best LOL in my new skinny body.

:)

PS any hair loss prevention recommendations are greatly appreciated. I actually read somewhere that taking prenatal viatmins is great for skin and hair etc.,

I lost some hair, noticed in my hair brush, but not noticeable to others. I cut my hair into a chin length bob shorty after having surgery, and I am guessing that that helped too. I think others loose hair, and notice it quicker. Goodluck on any decisions. Karen

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
