everytime i look in the mirror my hair is getting thinner and thinner... i know this is going to happen... and everyone goes through it... but it make me so upset. I'm a little over 2 months post op and its soooo thin now.. It use to be so thick i couldnt get it in a poneytail... now one wont stay in it. I started taking biotin i just hope it helps. How long till it will start to grow back!?!!?... btw ive lost 46 lbs :)

im about a month and 2 weeks post opt. Ive lost just about 40lbs... it kinda goes up and down a few pounds for like 2 weeks then drops.. its weird. Ive not really got sick but just once or twice. I'm glad i had the surgery... if u asked me that a month ago id said NO lol but im really glad... it is life changing.. and its just begun for me. Thank God i have a supportive family and friends... id be lost lol. It's getting easier not to want the foods i use to before... though i find myself eating the same thing every day bc im not sure what i should eat or can eat... any ideas? I posted a few pics and have more to come!! im taking them as i go.. so we'll see!

I'm not even sure what to think right now.. i am home and im glad to be home. I'm starting to move around a little more. i cannot sleep at night... if i lay down my thighs go numbe if i set up my lower back hurts lol i'm constantly moving from one place to another.. The Dr said he had to be more rough with me bc my abdomon is so thick he had to push and be more agressive... and that id probably be in more pain than most ....and i am for sure in a litle of pain. I had 6 holes and one of them feels like its ripping me in two everytime i move. I cant get into my bed bc of that one set of staples... it hurts so bad... and my vision is shot?!?! whats with that did anyone else have problems seeing after wards? I'm only taking the pain medication when i need it and one other pill they gave me but i cant see for crap.. even with my glasses on it makes it worse. I just wonder how long until i start to actually feel better.... i dont care for the drain thing hangin outta me... kinda freaks me out.. and i want these staples out asap lol... I feel so lost in whats going on... any advise would be great right now!

and all through the house not a creature is stirring... lol just playing.. haha I'm not as nervous as i thought id be...trying to figure out what i need to take with me what i dont... lol just going over stuff in my head. My surgery is tomorrow (12/16/09) at 1:30 at  camc general. I'm excited just want it to be over with.  lol I havent much else to say lol im not really thinkin about anything or "feeling" anything lol just thought id give everyone a heads up!

It's 10 days until my surgery... im starting to get nervous. I go for my pre op testing tomorrow... and after that it will just be a count down. I'm still nervous about how things will be after... i only had to go to my surgens office about 4 times in the last 6 months.. i still feel kinda lost about how things will be after.... how i will have to eat... what i can eat... its very overwhelming. I keep thinking how am i suppose to just know all this stuff? I've tried reasearching but u dont know what infromation you can trust and what you cant.  i'm guessin  ill figure it out. I know its different for everyone.. different surgens tell their patients how they think things should be done. I guess mine will tell me lol. These next 10 days will go by fast i hope... I havent bought clothes in like 6 months and its killin me lol.. i didnt want to buy any bc i knew i be having this surgery... i wanna buy something so bad lol... but i guess i'll wait! If you have any advice let me know!! what you thought worked best for you and what doesnt... thanks :)

Dr. Shins office just called me at 9 am lol (first time in 2 months i was getting to sleep in) lol oh well.... and they told me i was approved and that my surgery is scheduled for Dec 16th and 1:30!!!! I'm so excited i cant believe that its actually going to happen... all the stuff i tried not to think about just so i didnt get my hopes up i can really think about now. I have a about a month which is good time to for me to prepare myself for this. I have been doing stuff all along but i just didnt want to get to excited and then get turned down!!!! Just thougth id tell everyone!

I had my last appointment ( had to have 6 ) yesterday... they submited to my insurance today (CIGNA) Now... i have to wait and see if they approve me. I'm really nervous...i know ive had 6 months to "prepare" but i still feel like i have no idea what to do...what to expect. I found a protein shake i like... but i still dunno what to expect... it just makes me nervous..like im gonna screw something up.  I dont like surprises or not knowing whats going on lol... so this is for sure killing me. I'm excited too though.. I keep thinkin how different things will be after. I dunno... just need some encourgment...

I have about 2 weeks until my last apt with my pcp... then they can submit everything. I keep thinkin they are gonna tell me no. Its almost hard to get excited about it bc i'm afraid that i'll be getting my hopes up to much! ugh... the waiting sucks... evne though the last 5 months have gone by so fast.. I just hope they approve it ive done everything i been told to so...we will see..
