I'm having hair issues also... Breakage and loss. I have so much hair though, I think it will be okay. I think I might have good restriction now, I still haven't "tried" it out if you know what I mean. I've been eating really badly due to working all the time. When I say badly, I just mean not eating healthy food and packing my pouch like I supposed to. I've been eating whatever's convenient.

Hello RedTullips3: You and I have almost the same surgery date. I too am seeing some loss of hair. Scarey. I go to doc tomorrow for another fill and will talk with him about it then. I try really hard to get about 60gr of Protein daily. Some days it is extremely hard, but usually I make my goal.

Hi everyone. Sounds like everyone is doing great. Iwas banded 1/22/08. I started at 235, I am down to 185. So, total of 50 lbs. I feel great. I also lose 3-lbs. at a time then nothing for a week or so. I did have to go to the dr this week and I found out one of the sutures on my port tore lose. My port is superficial and the suture is very stiff and it poke out and hurts. My dr says I have to go to surgery center and have a little incision and remove the stitch. He says it will be 5 min. and with local.. Not looking forward to it anyway. Keep up the good work everyone. Just think how wonderful we will all llok and feel come January.
