I'very been hearing about hair lost, has anyone experienced this after surgery?

I lose hair every day. But so far its just been typical normal Hair loss. Some people say they lose clumps and get noticeably thinner. I've not had this issue. I'm 4 months out. I will say that since my hair is curly, if I let it go curly I lose more than if it flat Iron it to within an inch of its life. I think because when it is curly the hairs clump together as opposed to just falling out when straight.

This week I am pretty happy with my results. I think I need to focus on getting all of my workouts in and stop eating the sugar free treats. I have been dealing with some emotional baggage this week and I noticed or am noticing I am resulting back to my old habits but now in the form of sugar free treats.

So, it is Wednesday and my body is playing again. it knows how badly I want to see under 200lbs but yet its chilling again. it was moving along all weekend and now it has decided to relax and go on vacation. I hope this weekend is like last weekend and I see something big on the scale - like a 4lb drop!

Following through and trying to reach the end of this challenge with hopes of obtaining one of my goals - either the 100 miles or being at 200lbs! I much prefer to be at 200lbs. I don't know if I am going to make it to 200lbs by 10/1/14.

Their is no camera at the bottom of the page

For me when I am typing a message I touch the + sign which opens the full screen message box and then the 3 squares at the top right of the screen which opens a menu and attach picture is an option there. For my profile pic there is a camera icon to change that.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
