I had RNY on 12-11-01; starting weight 266.5; current weight 171;

need to lose another 30-40 lbs but it doesn't look like I'm going to

make it at the rate I'm going. Look forward to learning more from

each of you.

Post op hair loss is normal and temporary. It is because of the fast weight

loss. The key word is TEMPORARY. Your hair gets thin not totally falls out.

Hello, I have just recently joined your group.I have just returned

from my orentation at Brigham and Women's hospital in Boston.I'm

wondering if anyone has had experience with this facility. The staff

seemed great, but I would still prefer a couple of personal

references. Also, can anyone elaborate on the post-op hair-loss. Do

you actually loose all of it? How about the incisions with the lap

vs. the open. I have tried to find photos but haven't been successful.

Thanks very much,

I had open RNY. My scar starts from my breast bone and is about 6 inches long.

I had no staples or stitches on my incision. My Dr uses the new 'glue' and it

looks beautiful. Hardly a scar at all. It truly looks like a plastic surgery

did my surgery. I did not have lap so I can't answer from experience but have

talked to people who stated they where in more pain because the 4 little cuts go

thru muscle. But their scars are a lot smaller. Maybe we can hear from some

laps. I was not in pain after surgery. I am a chicken when it comes to pain

but I never used the morphine drip in hospital or pain meds when I came home.

You need to ask your dr. how he cuts because every dr is different. Mine showed

me on an office visit how he would be making the incision.

I hope this answers your question

I am also new to the group. I had LAP and a hernia repair on 1/15/04. I am so

glad to have found your web site. It has been so-o-o-o-o-o-o helpful. Just

about everything that I have experienced has been discussed. I am on 1 oz. of

protein 3X's a day, 1 Flinstone vit. and a Tums per day. I'm investigating

taking more supplements. So I found some subligual B12 and some protein shakes

that I like if they're watered down. Three weeks after my first surgery, I

had to have an open hernia repair on a repair that I'd had done about 3 years

ago. I had alot of pain and it took a long time to get going with exercising and

such, but I'm AOK now and glad I was able to have this done because I would

have quit probably a month after I started! I'm 48, a nurse, own a personal

care home, and have a great husband of 14 years who supports me at all times. I

am very lucky. We went to the grocery store this AM and I said to him,did you

notice how I can fly around the store now? He said yep and without huffing

and puffing! I suffer from asthma, diabetes(which has been resolved) high

cholo. But I'm doing just fine now. Enough rambling.

POWER TO THE LOSERS.

Now I know why you suggest a warm robe. But do I realy have to wear a

thong? Can't I just wear my boxers? <silly grin>
