The Waiting is the Hardest Part - Gainesville, GA

I love that you're continuing to update even after 18 months! I know you posted at 6 months that you had experienced hair loss and I'm going through that now - I'm just a week out from being post op of 5 months and it's like I pull a mouse out of the drain ever morning! Thankfully, I have a ton of hair and I'm probably the only person who notices the loss but when did yours stop shedding? Can you give any examples or tips for the next 6-12 month that you remember as a challenge or unexpected experiences to help keep me on the road to success?

I like to hear that people are still maintaining after a certain period of time after surgery. How did your skin react to the weight loss? Did you have any problems with your skin bouncing back and tightening?

Have you had any issues with sagging skin? Congrats on your beautiful new self btw

I know it's been a minute since I've updated but I'm never still now. I have so much energy I just wanna go all the time. Thursday will be my 6 month surgiversary and I'm proud to say I'm about 5 lbs to GOAL. I've gone from a size 20 to a size 8 and I feel amazing. I've gone through the hair fall out stage and now it's beginning to grow back and I'm super happy about that. I did the cut it all off thing and went with a super short pixie cut. Now that I'm small it's really cute. Keep it up everyone, you can do it.

Is the hair thinning a normal thing?
