One more question......what about Hair loss? My hair is already baby thin and I can't really afford to lose any hair!!! I'm just few days out before surgery on Monday but I have started Biotin. I tried to take fish oil too but it is giving my crazy reflux. I read that biotin doesn't stop hair loss but I don't know what else to do.

If your hair is going to fall out, it's going to fall out and really in my experience there is nothing that you can do about it. Taking at least 5000 mg of biotin will help with healthy new Hair growth but won't prevent it from happening. Nothing will prevent it. It starts around the 3 month mark. Good luck on your surgery!

I'm hoping since we're young our skin will have enough elasticity and will return to "normal"... I've had 3 c-sections so I know where my problme area will be but I'm hoping my back fat, arms and legs will return to normal.

Hi sleevers' date=' I'm new to the site. Surgery on July 22. I'm 26, 5'2", 243# and I'm worried about how my skin will do with weight loss and my boobs. Will anybody in their 20's be willing to share their experience? Thanks[/quote']

I am wondering the same thing. I turn 30 a week after my surgery( oct 22). I'm already planning for new boobs. I would love a Tummy Tuck. Two babies in 18 months will make any girl want those. Let hope everything bounces back somewhat :)

      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.
