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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
