Hello my surgery date is Nov 10, and my mom had hers done in June so we both have a few question for those of you who have had it for a few months now,

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it?

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem?

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!!

Thank you everyone!!!! and Happy Halloween!!!

p.s I cant wait until next halloween so we can dress in cute sexy costumes!!!:whoo:

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it?

There's really nothing to take. It's a part of hair's lifecycle to fall out. Some people have claimed good results with Biotin or Nioxin - but if your bosy wants your hair out, it's going to come out.

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm not sure what you mean by cord. Do you mean a part of the band (e.g. the tubing), or your belly button, or...?

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!!

Lots of people have this fear.

I have not been banded long but here is what I have been told and experienced.....

Hello my surgery date is Nov 10, and my mom had hers done in June so we both have a few question for those of you who have had it for a few months now,

1. hair Loss, I know we are all different but wat can she take for it? My dr. says you should not lose your hair unless you are not getting enough Vitamins and or you are dehydrated. She should call her dr and they will probably give her special Vitamins.< /span>

2. Pain where the cord is, my mom lost a lot of weight so the cord is now surfaced and at first it was really hurting her, she went back to the Dr and he said that he can staple or stich the cord to a musle in near the stomach wall. Anyone else had this problem? I haven't been banded long enough

3. Im very super scared of not waking up after the surgery!!! anyone else have this fear? just thinking about it makes me cry!!! I was VERY scared of this also. I even printed out my will and living will for my folks. The truth is, it is SOOOO fast. I have not heard of anyone dying during the surgery and they do much more invasive and serious surgeries every day and it is fine! You will be fine.....

Thank you everyone!!!! and Happy Halloween!!!

p.s I cant wait until next halloween so we can dress in cute sexy costumes!!!:whoo:

      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.
