:lol: this made me laugh. No my dear..no change anywhere else...and yes, I lost plenty of hair on my head. I even saw scalp at one point. Doesn't seem fair, does it?

This brings up a good point. I'm currently undergoing laser treatments and I was about to start treating my arms. Reading through all these posts though it sounds like I'm in for some substantial hormonal changes when I do have surgery. Has anyone had regrowth in previously treated areas after surgery?

I had my lip and between my brows done before surgery. There is no change or regrowth in those areas which is good news because that is expensive and I would have been mad.

I do think if we were going to lose hair they should picked some spots that would be more convienient.

Not my head for crying out loud!

Omg, Yes!! I was too embarrassed to a make a thread or tell someone. I haven't got a man at the moment so I was planning to keep my Lady winter fur but a month after the surgery, everytime I would shower would be strands of hair going down the drain. I was shedding like a cat.

That has now stopped and now i'm having issues with the hair on my head.

That's hilarious - I was just grousing about this yesterday! I'm blaming the Biotin, it's making my armpit hair grow like ragweed but I still have a 2-finger-width part in my hair. So not fair!

I am now 3 months post op and hair loss has started. I keep pulling handfuls out in the shower...

However, here is WEIRD part... my hair is growing faster, a lot faster. BUT it is growing faster in weird places too... my head, my armpits, and now I'm noticing more hair on the stomach! It's so weird, it's not an unsightly amount or anything someone would notice besides me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sasha, mine finally stopped falling out faster than it's growing in at about the 7 month mark, but it DOES come back. I got a sample of the Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco spray in my Ipsy bag (it's about $8-$10 for a big full sized can) and it works really well to keep the frizzies down without making my hair stiff. Otherwise, I walk around looking like I stuck my finger in a socket.

      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.
