I'm across the river from you in Kenova, WV. Just starting this journey. My insurance requires 12 months of visits with PCP. I have only done 1 so far, but I have all of them scheduled. It's hard to wait though.

Hi Joan! I did a 9 month supervised visits and it was 11 months by the time I had surgery. It actually goes by pretty quick when you have appointments going on. It does suck to wait but it does give you time to learn everyone's experiences and see what goes on.

I am starting to lose hair. I am going to have my aunt trim and layer my hair this week sometime. I started taking hair Vitamins. I hope it helps. My hair line is getting bigger on top. I really don't want this to happen but I guess it is. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi, all: I have a question. I am now about 6 weeks out, and I am having a really hard time eating/drinking anything. Has anyone else had this happen? I get immediately nauseated. Twice I have thrown up, and I know it's not from too much. Once it was just two small bites of mashed cauliflower, last night it was smashed up fish. I just got back from the gym and took a few small sips of Water, and almost threw up. With food and water making me feel like this, I'd rather just not eat. I have an appt with Ivan on the 14th, but I don't know if I should wait until then to address this?

I would address it immediately.

Bcostasbiggs, I hope your feeling better. You should definitely talk to Ivan sooner if you arent. Something might be going on. I'm sorry your going through this.

Bloomer, I saw your pics on fb. I am still so jelly that you got to go. I hope i get to go within the next year. That's great you lost 4 pounds while being gone. I bet it was hot. What all did you ride? What is your favorite? Mine is Tower of terror.

Kyboo, and koylo, you guys don't have much longer and hopefully the next month will go by for you. It should with it being summer and 4th of July coming. I would say you guys will have surgery in August sometime. At least it will be kind of at the end of summer so you can keep swimming and enjoy summer. Just think, next summer you will be in a better body for it too.

Idk why it did 2 of them but this has been my 4 months. The 1st one is me now. I'm down 61 pounds from the end of January. I'm 8 pounds away from 200. I think the weight loss is slowing down a bit now but that's okay.
