Hi Everyone!

So Far I Like What I See On This Site And Look Forward To Sharing My Experiences With You.

I Have Decided To Have The Gastric Bypass Around September. I Am Really Scared. I Have Been Through A Lot These Past Few Years And This Will Be My First "major" Operation; Although It Will Be My Fourth In Three Years. I Had A Bout With A Rare Type Of Fallopian Tube Cancer. It Was Treated With Chemotherapy And Although I Am In Remission I Am Considered Cured - I Am A Survivor! And My Drs Say There Is No Problem With Having The Surgery. Has Anyone Lost Their Hair? I Lost All My Hair During The Chemo - And I Pray I Won't Lose It Again! I Am 270 Lbs Now And Look Forward To Being 110! Good Luck To All!!!!!

Congratulations on beating the big "C". You deserve to be able to lose the weight and be the healthy person you deserve to be. Go for it.......Debs

Welcome Lori -

Try not to capitalize all your words, it makes reading a little tough. I am new to the board also but I have been on automobile message boards for years. I am about to attempt my journey into another healthier life also.

Hi Lori!

Nice to meet you. Congratulations on what you have done so far!! I am so happy for you! Congrats also on your decision to have Gastric Bypass - You will no doubt enter another new journey in your life. Personally, I never did lose any hair and I am not sure what to attribute it to. I know I was very good at getting all of my protein in and taking my vitamins daily and I am sure that helped. Everyone is different so it is hard to say what your experience will be.

I look forward to hearing about your experiences. Hope to "see" you around the boards.

Good luck with everything and keep posting. from the homework that I have done, most of the people lose some but not all,( go thin, but go back)
