Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Where did my hair go!?!?!?! Hello all, I know I don't post as much as I used to, but just wanted to give you all an update on me. I am doing well, still on my plateau, stuck at 173, but last month, my hair started falling out by the handfuls! I know I know, it is gonna happen regardless, I guess I am just really thankful that my hair was really really thick before the surgery, so you can't really tell, but it is so much thinner now than it EVER has been. But I went last Sat. and got a bunch of it cut off just to get the weight off. I will post new pics soon, maybe on my 5 month pics. But I just wanted to let you all know that I look at the site every day even though I might not post, but you all are doing great! Hope you all have a great weekend, and I will post my pics in about a week and a half! HUGS!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  |  Ahhhh, ((((((((HUGS)))))))) So you've hit the point where your body is declaring your surgery a success...and revolting that things happened sooooo fast.  Stick to your program and you'll do fine. Keep up the good work, way to go!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I haven't had the surgery yet, but twice I've lost about 65 pounds and lost the hair. It doesn't all fall out, just enough to scare you when it comes out in handfulls! And it all grows back. At least mine did twice, so don't worry. ;o) |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | JUST wanted you to read this on plataues phyllis: And i have seen this on plataus and it makes much sense too: Consider how difficult it is for you to run up ten flights of stairs all in one shot. Can you do it? I'm betting NOT unless you are a top-notch-conditioned Olympian, right? Now, of course, you could EVENTUALLY get up those ten flights of stairs if you rested on the landings periodically to catch your breath and pause for a moment before your heart explodes. you'd get up those stairs - but only if you rested on the landings or PLATEAUS. Well, running up ten flights of stairs in one shot is what we are asking our body to do after WLS in the way we want the body to lose a massive amount of weight. As our body loses weight so rapidly, it occasionally has to "rest on the landings" to catch its breath, get its bearings, take a breather. Then once it feels rested, it takes another shot at dropping the pounds again. It's remarkable that the body can drop so much weight so quickly anyway after surgery. but it can't do it all in one long shot like running up ten flights of stairs in one long shot. It has to rest on the landings or PLATEAUS. Keep this analogy in mind when you hit those plateaus. PLURAL. PLATEAUS. No such thing as ONE. you'll have many along your journey. When those plateaus hit, you still must do what you need to do. DON'T stop the good nutrition, the vitamins, the exercise. keep those routines going. And once your body is done "resting" in between the flights of stairs, it will kick in gear again for the next flight or two. And the more pounds that are dropped, the slower the pounds will drop too. so you will not lose rapidly during that last stretch of 25-30 pounds. it's like an athlete who gives his all during the race, sees the finish line in sight, and does all he/she can to finish. the muscles ache, the heart is about to burst. but the athlete DOES finish the marathon. some athletes "walk" across the finish line. but the point is they FINISHED. Understanding plateaus will help you relax a bit and keep you from self-doubt, which is something you don't need right now along your journey. hopefully it will help you thru the frustrating moment!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I had read about the hair lose on the boards here and about how biotin might help. Since my surgery is about a month away, I went and bought some of the biotin and started taking it last Monday. My hair is thin and "baby fine" so I will need all the help I can get. LOL
