Hair Loss
OK another worry...I know this sounds so trivial and vain but when my sister in law mentioned hair loss it scared me to death. My hair is not real long and not real thick, and the thought of losing some is very scarey for me. How much hair on average does one loose?

Just in the beginning stages of MGB
I have been considering MGB for about 6 months now, my sister in law had it done back in 2010 and looks and feels amazing. She has been encouraging me to have it done, says it will change my life. I am terrified! I know my weight now poses more risk than the surgery but still scared. Any advise on moving on and not looking back?
Also I need contacts, anyone willing to help me out there?

mgb dreaming
Its been about 3 or 4 years that I have been dreaming of getting the MGB. Since then I lost about 20 pounds using Alli, (gained it all back,) and now I lost a whopping 7.5 pounds walking daily and eating very healthy. I am still walking but I can't seem to stick with the diet so I am gaining again.
I really want the surgery, and I see that it went DOWN in price, since I last checked, and they provide life time post op care, and complication insurance. These were two things I was very… Continue

Thanks again for all the tips you guys!!
Happy Thanksgiving

Michigan to New York and back. We made every effort to get up and move when the bus stopped. She was morbidly obese and suffered from Chronic Regional Pain Disorder, but she tried to remain somewhat active. She developed a clot in her right leg the day we came home.
But we didn't know it because that was the chronic pain leg. The clot moved to her lungs the next morning and within 1-1/2 hours our beautiful, bright daughter (age-27) was gone from our lives. She was on YAZ (full-time)and an experimental drug which could both cause blood clots. PLEASE, PLEASE young women consider your choice of birth control.

Hi all,
I'm posting to let everyone know that I am doing well. This has been the hardest day. Just feeling overall groggy and tired. I have been sipping lots of VERY salty broth, and some Gatorade. I've been doing well with the saltines, amazingly well!
My experience in the hospital was great. Everyone was wonderful. I fell asleep the second I 'hopped' onto the operation table, and woke up when I got to my room. Every one says I talked in the recovery room, but I don't remember. I felt no pain while at the hospital.
I must admit (even at risk of showing my wimpy side) that when I took my first sip I broke out into tears. Because of the removal of the lap-bad, for the first time in over FOUR years I ingested something WITHOUT PAIN. It was finally over! I knew at that moment that the misery of drinking or eating with pain would be no more! Who wouldn't cry?
My ride home made me a little nauseous, but I was really glad to be back in my own bed. I had an hour of discomfort in the middle of the night. My elbow, hand and wrist joints hurt really badly. Not sure why, maybe the last bit of gas from the surgery, but I had no shoulder pain. I also placed my hand on my shoulder and it was cold, and when I placed my hand on my elbow and wrist it was hot!
I woke up this morning with still a little of that pain, but not bad at all, now itÕs all but gone. My abdomen area is 'uncomfortable', but no pain.
I worry about ingesting too much and not letting my stomach heal properly.
I'll post again at the one-week mark. Talk to you all soon!

Congratulations. I am glad your surgery was a success. I am glad that you are finally able to drink and eat without any pain and that you are free from that for the rest of your life..
Best of luck,

I have the lap band, and you should surely check out all you options before you
do anything and so with that in mind, I do need to tell you that it did not work
for me and I do know that the stats on it are not correct. None of the people
that I had it with I do not believe are walking around glad and with great
results.
Problem is, after a while (I have had it six years) all you can get in are
cookies, ice cream, dips and chips. If I try to eat healthy, fruits or
vegetables, then it comes right back up. Even one bite. So, after a while you
get head hunger and just eat whatever will go down. I never get to eat meat.
So, the GOOD thing is, its reversible and I am having Dr. R take it out for
me. If you have any questions just e-mail

My 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 4/19/06
Happy Anniversary to me and all my littermates Marianne, Bryan, Rod and
Reggie. Hope you are all doing good.
Let me say 1st and foremost THANK YOU DR. R for your committment and
dedication to helping the morbidly obese, you truly are a gift from god and my
HERO!!!!!!!
Last year on this day I was 281lbs at 5'2" and had NO life. I could not
even walk around Vegas with my family because everything hurt. My ankles,
knees, back, feet, etc.... I was flirting with diabetes, high blood pressure
and
depression. I had sleep apnea, and never wanted to leave my home due to my
weight.
WOW fast forward to today, what a life I have now. I have tears in my eyes
as I write this email. I am a HEALTHY 144lbs and wearing a size 4/6 from a
size 28. I am a better mom, wife, friend, confidant and again mom. I can do
soooooooooo much with my 6 year old son. I shaparoned yesterday at the zoo
with his Kindergarten class and I was not even tired at the end of the day.
Unbelievable!!!! I want to scream it from the roof tops MGB has been my miracle
and it could help you too!!!!!
I have not only changed in size I have changed in so many other ways. I am
taking my Fitness Instructor Exam June 10th 2007. I want to teach aerobics.
I have wanted to do this since I was 20 years old, ( I am 36 now) I get paid
to exercise, get a FREE gym membership for me and my hubby and I build self
esteem and confidence that had been NON existence in my life for many years.
WOW I am amazed at how much I have changed.
Much love and happiness to all my littermates, and I am here for all the
newbies any questions just ask.
Hugs 2 All,
Elissa
