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.

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.

Ruthi lives in So. Cal -- OregonDaisy is in Oregon, but not sure where. She's here a lot - you might even find her in the chat room right now.

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!

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:

I'd love curly hair! Mine is fine and thin and I have been losing more of it the past 3 weeks or so. When did yours stop falling out and did it come back thicker AND curly?

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.

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.

Mine did the same thing! I used to have super straight hair and now I have more curls than I know what to do with. Not really curls, more than waves and less than curls.

I kinda wish it would go away. :o/

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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
