Need some help !
Hello I am brand new to this forum but could sure use some advice .
I was banded on the 28th of Feb.2011. Every thing went really well for the
first four months then my weight loss slowed way down and now this past month
I have even gained about five pounds. My hair started falling out about the same time
at the four month mark and now it is so sparse I have to wear a wig to go out of the house.
I had blood work done last month and it all looked pretty good. My B12 was marginal but not bad.
I am taking prenatal vitamins (for the extra iron) plus Biotin .I also take Calcium w/vit.D and a
fish oil supplement. I can't eat meat ,beef ,chicken,pork . It just won't go down. I can eat some fish and some ground beef if cooked in spaghetti sauce. I just have a really hard time getting enough protein in. I weighed 247 lbs at surgery and now weigh 191 lbs. I do feel so much better from pre-surgery but I'm so worried about hair loss and slowed weight loss. I have an appt. with LB Doctor
tomorrow so hopefully will get some help. Will welcome any advice from fellow banders.
