Does your hair ever come back to normal?

Thanks @barecelona37 (Tamara) you are right. Today I get another call, now they are saying that it's $656 not $309. I guess it's good to have this done, so I may as well keep moving forward. Originally before they diagnosed positive with H Pylori, I was hoping this was the week to have VSG done this week. Now looking towards January :(

Are you a lover of Barcelona or live there? I sooooo love Barca, haven't been there in a while I guess I should have said I used to love Barcelona (been 20 years since my last visit---damn time flies).

Reason #1 for vsg---travel again--I hate traveling at this weight. Everyone in Spain seemed tiny even when I was 138 and visiting there.

My hair is starting to come back, but my hair stylist said it won't even be as think as it was pre op. I used to want thinner hair now I really miss the thickness. But it saves me time in the mornings!

@@lifeofblair If that is a pic of you now, your hair looks gorgeous, as do you. When you are older (as I am) you worry about hair thinness, my hair was always so darn thick. I used Wen for years and swear it made me lose tons of hair, not realizing it til a year ago. Since it's healthier and growing back, but feels like it's 1/3 the hair I used to have. So that is why the worry. Everyone says I can wear wigs, I work outdoors for part of the day and live in Louisiana where we get 100+ heat index....don't think wigs would work.

My hair is coming back thicker than ever because I am overall healthier. Don't let hair hold you back from surgery.

Yes, that pic is from July. Thanks! I have all these baby hairs coming in I'm ready for them to be grown out haha. I'm in Tennessee and I would be the same! The summers are too hot to think about wigs

I am 10 months out from surgery, lost almost 90 pounds from my all time high and about 40 of that since surgery. I have yet to notice any issues with my hair.

Some people loose a little and some loose a lot of hair. Some seem to rebound after they are in maintenance and some don't. I am almost 11 months post op and have been in maintenance since July and have seen no improvement yet[emoji26]. I haven't lost hope but it is disappointing. So I focus on the fact my BMI is now normal, I am off a ton of meds and my health issues are resolved. I have the energy that I had when I was a teenager. Remember we are doing this surgery to literally save our lives... So what if we have thin hair?

I am just over a year out. My hair started to fall out just when they said it would. It has recovered somewhat. I am just waiting for the regrowth to catch up. To cope with the thinning, I went shorter and layered.

      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.
