One of the first things they tell you is a side effect of weight loss surgery is hair loss. That has really been my only fear. Not dying, not being sick, but hair loss. Before surgery, I had long, thick, curly hair. In 35 years, I have never appreciated my hair-until now. It has thinned out some, most people cannot notice it, but I could. I hated how it felt, the clumps of hair every time I touched it, washing it, you name it. So, I decided to cut it. It has definitely helped make it less noticeable and feels so much better. I will prob keep it short for a while until the hair stops falling out, which I think stops around the year mark. So, while snapping pics of my new short 'do, I also took some "after" shots. So, here is what my new hair and 72lbs gone is looking like:





Hmmm...must do something about those arms!
