Suzannesh 376 Posted June 22, 2009 Hi Everyone, I was sleeved in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves on 10/21/08. I have lost 78 pounds so far. I just found this site and I am excited to find it. Looks like there is a lot of great information on here. This has been a life changing event for me. My journey has been wonderful. I only wished I would have done it 20 years ago. The probelm is I didn't know about the sleeved until about 18 months ago. It is nice to be part of this group. I look forward to having the opportunity to get to know a lot of you. I live in Oregon and would love to hear from other people who live in Oregon. Suzanne :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suzannesh 376 Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Ruthi, I live in Eugene, OR. Where do you live in Oregon. I have to say having the sleeve was the best choice I have EVER made in my entire life. I have a whole new life and just love it. Suzanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to get there, but there's too many posts tonight ... it was so much easier to keep up with when I wasn't working ... go figure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzannesh 376 Posted June 23, 2009 Hey thanks for letting me know about this site. You know me. I always have a lot to say, and I like this site a LOT. I am learning my way around it. I am always thrilled to share my experience with anyone who wants to hear about it. Hugs, Suzanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzannesh 376 Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Everyone, I was thrilled to find this site. I have been on Dr. Aceve's site since I had my sleeve surgery on 10/21/08. I also returned to Mexicali with a friend when she had her surgery. I know that I am always looking for other people to share information with and get answers if I have any questions. One of the strage things that happened after some of my hair fell out was that it has now come back curly. NEVER in my life have I had curly hair. Has anyone hair they hair come back curly? :tongue_smilie: Suzanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When did yours stop falling out and did it come back thicker AND curly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne When did your hair start falling out? I'm almost 2 weeks post-op and that hasn't happened -- and I hope it doesn't. I have really thick hair; however, I just had my hairdresser thin the heck out of it so I won't get so hot this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 24, 2009 Suzanne came to visit me in the hospital in Mexicali! I returned your email but then I didn't hear back from you. My hair is already starting to fall out. I am freaked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really curls, more than waves and less than curls. I kinda wish it would go away. :o/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 24, 2009 Mine is really fuzzy where it's growing back from band surgery. I lost a lot in the shower this morning. I can only hope it's not going to come out as much as it did last time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted June 24, 2009 Mine started falling out at 1.5 weeks. It still falls out a bit now, but it's really slowed down. I don't even count how many fall out now because it's not enough to be worth the bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
