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.

Hasn't happened too badly yet, but expecting it because its probably inevitable. However, in the shower, pulling out 12 strands of hair at once is not so uncommon for me lately so maybe it has started. Anyway, the protein that you do get (whatever that may be at this point) is all being "sent" by your body to sites that need healing and muscles that need preserving. So your hair (a protein in itself) is not being considered a high priority..it will all level out in time though!

it usually starts around the 50 pound mark...and YOU WILL NOT GO BALD!!! It's a normal reaction we have all gone through....mine started right around 40 pounds and while I still lose a little in the shower now...it's slowed down a LOT!!! Take biotin (get it at walmart) to promote new hair growth....many of us around here have even donned new shorter styles....I don't seem to notice it NEAR as bad having shorter hair!!!

YOU WILL BE OK....!!!

Its normal to lose 80 to 100 hairs a day . even if ya never notice them before I am a hair stylist

I really dont think that it has started yet for you though. You will not go bald. It will just thin a bit. some people more then others.

but in the end its just a small price we have to pay to get are bodys back healthy

I myself am about 7 months out and have lost very little of my hair but i have friends that have lost much more everyone is different

My two biggest "ugh" issues are hairloss and saggy skin. I, too, have cut my hair shorter and shorter as the lighter seems to fluff better and it looks a lot less in the shower drain. I keep telling myself it's DD hair but I def can tell diff. Because I change the way I wear my hair like every three days nobody seems to notice the thinning so much. Today I am wearing a cute shortsleeve red shirt (women's heart health awareness day) and I'm self conscious about my arms, but I'm doing it anyway. Its a cute shirt and I'll take a sweater to work coz its freezing in there! It'll be ok and it does grow back, I have a cute bunch on new hairs trying to decide which way to go now (about 3/4" long) LOL
