Hii everyone! nice to see all of those stories of success with the sleeve surgery! i myself got my Sleeve done back on May 8th 2012! i was 295 surgery morning and now i am 225! I have lost quite a bit of muscle and i am slowely trying to build it back by exercising and getting plenty of protein! However i have been loosing quite a bit of hair and its going really thin! its scareing the hell out of me because i am only 19! So really i would appriciate any advice on what to do =D

unfortunately i do not go to Support Groups. My family yells at me and wants me to go but ive been extremely busy!

I lost a lot of hair from 3-7 months...I was taking Biotin and getting my Protein religiously.. Didn't help me... Just keep taking care of your hair, taking vits, getting Protein and water... I would definitely start exercising.. I do aqua aerobics... As far as support group, I went once.. but I was fortunate to have others around me who were sleeved that I could lean on... Many ladies I met on this site have become close friends and we talk often...

Perhaps making support group an appointment that you keep will help...

Hair loss can come just from the trauma of the surgery (which was major) as well as too little calories or not enough Vitamins. Cut your hair if you have to and rest assured it will all grow back once your body has gotten through the adjustment.

      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.
