I had my moments early on when I was grateful that someone shared their positive attitude. Am doing what I can to repay that...

Thanks for all the comments, glad I spoke up :-)

This may be TMI but I'm thinning a lot down "south" the positive is I don't need bikini waxes. Lol. I'm thinning up top too and already have thin hair so I'm nervous it won't grow back

I already had fine hair before surgery. But I was lucky that I had a lot of it. I started noticing hair falling out around 6 weeks and it slowed down around the 5 month mark. Around that time I got to start prednisone. Which can cause hair loss/thinning. I think someone wants me to be bald for my wedding in October!! LoL!!!!!

But I got some clip in hair extensions to help make it look thicker for the big day. Then after the wedding I may just chop it off. I know I looked good in a pixie cut before surgery. So I may just have to go back to it for a while.

Such is life as a bariatric patient with ms.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
