Mine is almost to the bra strap, I have vowed that if it starts thinning I will cut it above the shoulders... okay, lol, maybe just at the shoulders. I am literally coming up on 3 months post op, and worried I will start losing it.

How far post op are you? Did you do this from post-WLS hair loss, or just because you felt like it? I bet you were just feeling rebellious and sassy, LOL!

I was sleeved April 20. It is very thick and I have waited way too long for a cut. Fortunately, it was long enough I could donate it if I was willing to go short so I took the plunge. To donate it it has to be at least 9" long.

My hair is so thick that even with the anticipated post-surgery Hair loss I should still have plenty left.

Haha! Good for you for donating!

I have long thick hair. When I was losing I did lose hair. By the fistfull. Turns out it made my hair look better. Now I get it thinned. Oh, the irony.

I understand. I always got mine thinned in the summer and still lived in a ponytail because it could be so hot.

I can't believe how much lighter my head and neck feel ... and how little Shampoo I am using. It's quite a change.

I have dry, fine, curly hair so I have switched over to the "no poo" method and essentially wash my hair with a detangling conditioner. I have been doing this for several years now - only Shampoo when it is truly dirty from riding in the dust or something like that - perhaps 1-2x a month.

Then I finish it with a defrizz/shine/curl enhancer type product and let it airdry. Easy peasy and I get alot of compliments on my hair.

I just turned 51, and am still blessed with (mostly) brunette hair. I know it is vain, but my hair makes me feel feminine and beautiful. I know someday I will cut it short, but for now this works. :)

        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.

      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
