I too am very nervous about the hair loss. My hair is so fine and thin I can't afford to lose much! But there are so many scarves, headbands etc. that are cute, so I guess I will just have to deal with it when it happens. Hopefully my body will be so damn sexy by then that no one will look at my hair!! hehe

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

I have started the biotin, and I will admit, hair loss and possibly more surgery (cosmetic) were the 2 things I feared the most. I haven't started the hair loss thing yet, but I'm sure it's headed right at me. The funny part? I cut off 12 inches of hair earlier this year & now I'm wishing I hadn't. OH WELL...the weight loss is worth it...and "you have such a pretty face" should overcome my new shiny bald head, right?

Thank GOD the hair loss thing is temporary....!

For me I was really worried about this because I didn't have a lot of hair to bean with. My hair is very fine and thin. Kind of like baby hair. But i figured hey if is going to grow back it's worth it even if i go bald. Well I again got worried when it started falling out. This started after I had gotten to the 50lb mark which when my doctor said it would happen. My hair really fell out. It was clogging the drain everytime I showered. It drove me nuts because i was covered in hair all the time and it bugged me. So I decided to cut it all off. As you can see in my picture. My hair is growing back in now and it seems so much thicker then it was before. Plus everyone has told me how much they like my new hair style. They also tell me that the short hair relly makes me look thinner it really accentuates my face. I never would have cut my hair this short before I have always had long hair but I really like it.
