Thank you to everyone who responded. I'm trying to stay hopeful. I just hope I don't go totally bald before the hair starts growing back, if it ever will. I will take your advises. Thanks again.

Hi all- I haven't been on this site in while. Not since I've had my surgery anyways. Well, one of my many concerns about having the gastric sleeve, was hair loss. It didn't take long for that to come...

Cool sculpting is only to melt away the fat. Will not do any good for the extra skin some people might have after bariatric weight loss.

Hi there.

25% of 218K is not 2709. LOL. I would call the insurance directly. She is confused. :)

Thank you! You look spectacular!!!

WOW!! Congrats! Great job!!

Hi all-

So, last week all my paperwork was sent to the insurance for approval (I hope). I was told that with my insurance it will be 1 to 3 weeks before I hear anything. I'm hoping to have the...

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I've only told a few people that I'm having the surgery. I've told my sister in law (who is also my best friend and is totally against it- she's afraid for me) I don't want to tell my mom & sons,...

Sorry for the late reply, Stacey. I totally missed these posts. You give great advice. I'm a work in progress. ;-) Thank you for being an inspiration and a cheer leader to all on here.

You got this!! Good luck!!

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted!

I'm going through that myself. Though, my surgery hasn't been schedule yet, I keep thinking " Am I sure about this? " " Will I be able to deal with the drastic changes to my life?". One minute I want...

I understand what you are saying. I don't post here a lot, but I do try to be polite and thank those that help me. If didn't at some point, I apologize.

Great feeling, isn't it? Keep up the good work.

That fish sounds yummy. I love seafood! I grew up near the sea, so fish is part of my culture.

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I will make some calls to dr's office and, if need be, my insurance. I do have a few comorbidities that qualify me. So, hopefully.
I'm thankful for this...

Hi-
I have two more nutrition visits left before I can get insurance approval. I have not lost much weight at all, mostly for my concern of my BMI going down to less than the required. The...

Stacey, you look absolutely amazing! Looks like two different people. The hard work paid off.
I have to learn to love myself. Haven't been there in a very long time. Thank you for sharing.

I am worried about that as well, and not only my arms and thighs, but my chin area as well, as I am a bit on the " mature" side and so have some sagging there. LOL.

That is super!!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you both for your replies. That makes me feel better.

Thank you for your reply. I'm going to increase my Biotin intake as a pre-emptive measure. Losing hair is a really big concern for me.

Hi all-

As I've posted before, I am in the process of getting gastric sleeve. If all goes well, I should be able to get my surgery by end of August. I have a question for anyone that might have...

WOW!! You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your hard work!!!
